Abstract
The individual in Epictetus’thought is often the center of concentric circles, with country, race, and world as peripheries. One meaning of this is that, as the constitution of a typical federal union is more basic than the several constitutions of the constituent states, so “natural law” is more basic than national, the law of Zeus than the law of Caesar.
