The Philosophy of Many Hands

Description

The Philosophy of Many Hands is a "pseudo-randomly generated philosophy" that makes a few cameo appearances in my novel A Foundation in Wisdom.

I was flipping through a copy of Epictetus's The Handbook, or The Enchiridion, and thought I could work the few lines I originally wrote into a parody. Like the few lines from the original novel, it mainly consists of non-sequiturs or complete misinterpretations of Epictetus's philosophy.

This "edition" of The Philosophy of Many Hands corresponds to the first 16 sections of The Handbook. An online version can be found here: [link], but my copy is slightly different.
