Meditations
Marcus Aurelius
Paperback
(Yilin Press, March 1, 2016)
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) is a private notebook of philosophical reflections, written by a Roman emperor probably on military campaign in Germany. In short, highly charged comments, Marcus draws on Stoic philosophy to confront challenges that he felt acutely, but which are also shared by all' human beings-the looming presence of death, making sense of one's social role and projects, the moral significance of the universe.
