| Description: |
Marcus Aurelius wrote his famous "Meditations" during his campaigns against the Barbarians. They record the passing thoughts, maxims and musings on life and death of a sensitive and humble mind which had been trained in the Stoic philosophy that contributed so much to Christianity. |
| Synopsis: |
A new translation of the philosophical journey that has inspired luminaries from Matthew Arnold to Bill Clinton Written by an intellectual Roman emperor, the "Meditations" offer a wide range of spiritual reflections developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and the universe. Marcus Aurelius covers topics as diverse as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods, and his own emotions, spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation. * Includes an introduction, chronology, explanatory notes, general index, index of quotations, and index of names |
