Meditations

The personal writings of Marcus Aurelius offer deep insights into Stoic philosophy, reflecting his thoughts and experiences as a Roman Emperor. Divided into 12 non-chronological books, these notes serve as spiritual exercises filled with wisdom and practical guidance on human behavior. Written solely for himself, the work provides timeless reflections on leading a meaningful life. Its enduring relevance and profound ethical considerations have made it a cornerstone of both Greek literature and philosophical thought, influencing readers for nearly two millennia.
