Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Meditations was written by Marcus Aurelius, the only philosopher emperor in ancient Rome. This 12-volume dialogue with himself, most of which was written by him during his hard work, is a milestone in Stoic philosophy. Meditations comes from the author's feelings about himself and the chaotic world he lives in, and he pursues a calm and optimistic life free from passion and desire. In the book, Marcus Aurelius expounds on the relationship between soul and death, analyzes personal virtue, personal liberation and personal responsibility to society, and requires frequent self-reflection to achieve inner peace, abandon all useless and trivial thoughts, and think uprightly. Moreover, we should not only think about good and upright things, but also take action.
