Epictetus was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived between 55 and 135 AD and taught the philosophy of stoicism.
This philosophy is exemplified in the "Enchiridion", which serves as a manual for the everyday practice of this phil.
To the stoic this detachment allows the natural law of the universe to reveal itself and harmony with the world can be achieved.
Stoicism is the school of philosophy that teaches one to detach oneself from ones emotions so that truth may be derived from ones reason.
