Produktbeschreibung
The Meditations contains the day-to-day political thoughts of its author Marcus Aurelius. Considered by many as one of the great books of all times, they are basically the moral tenets. Many consider Meditations as the only document of its kind ever made. An intimate contact with the thoughts pursued by Aurelius during the troubling involvements of his reign can be acquired by reading the Meditations. It is a book of short sayings, varying from a sentence or two, to a long paragraph. It?s not organized by theme, but certain ideas keep popping up throughout, indicating that he thought them the most important for him to understand and incorporate into the way we live. The book?s teachings were meant to be practiced and used. When the author speaks of the certainty of death and how relatively soon it will come, he is not philosophizing. He is recommending that this fact advises our decision-making. Throughout this book, Aurelius lists the character traits that include many examples worth following.

Autorenporträt
Marcus Aurelius, born in 121 AD in Rome, ascended to power as Roman Emperor in 161 AD. Known as one of the ""Five Good Emperors,"" he ruled during a time of significant military conflict, including wars against the Parthians and Germanic tribes. Aurelius is best remembered for his Stoic philosophy, captured in his personal writings, Meditations, where he reflected on leadership, virtue, and the nature of the universe.Despite facing plagues, military challenges, and personal losses, Marcus Aurelius maintained a reputation as a philosopher-emperor. His reign marked the end of the Pax Romana, an era of relative peace in the Roman Empire. His philosophical reflections continue to influence modern thought on ethics, leadership, and personal resilience.Marcus Aurelius's legacy endures through his writings and the monumental tributes to his military achievements, such as the Column of Marcus Aurelius in Rome. He was succeeded by his son, Commodus, whose reign was markedly different from his father's. Meditations remains a timeless work, offering insights into Stoicism and the human condition.
