Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius\u00a0 offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and the values of leadership. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years.<\/p>\n

To provide a full understanding of Aurelius’s seminal work, this edition includes\u00a0explanatory notes, a general index, an index of quotations, an index of names, and\u00a0an introduction by Diskin Clay putting the work in its biographical, historical, and literary context,\u00a0a chronology of Marcus Aurelius’s life and career.<\/p>\n
