Publisher's Synopsis
Meditations is a collection of personal writings by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Written in Greek, the book is a series of reflections and philosophical musings on topics such as ethics, self-discipline, and the nature of the universe. Aurelius wrote the book during his military campaigns and reign as emperor, and it was not intended for publication. However, the work has become a classic of Stoic philosophy and is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of ancient philosophy. The book is divided into twelve books, each consisting of several short chapters, and covers a wide range of topics, including the importance of living in the present moment, the value of virtue, and the inevitability of death. Meditations is a timeless work that continues to be read and studied by philosophers, scholars, and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
