Considered one of the great thinkers of Roman Stoicism, Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) wrote these unique "Meditations" towards the end of his life: notes and annotations taken in light of the circumstances and whims of the imagination that are articulated in generally brief and disconnected paragraphs.
Divided into twelve books, this manual of the principles of psychology and morality of the last Roman Stoicism reflects on the inevitability of things, the search for virtue and the indifference of the wise man to goods and evils, principles that would later influence both Christian morality and secularized humanism. Translation and introduction by Antonio Guzmán Guerra.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty, the last of the rulers later known as the Five Good Emperors and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calm, and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD. He served as Roman consul in 140, 145, and 161.
