Autoren-Porträt von Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius
Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius (26 April 121 - 17 March 180) was not only one of the most respected Roman Emperors but also a notable philosopher of the Stoic school. His reign, from 161 to 180, was marked by both military conflict and cultural flourishing. Despite the demands of his imperial duties, Marcus Aurelius found the time and moral imperative to commit his thoughts on Stoic philosophy to writing. The result was 'The Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus', a work which encapsulates his stoic philosophy and personal reflections. Originally authored in Greek while on campaign between 170 and 180, 'Meditations' shares the practical wisdom and ethical considerations of the Emperor, laying bare his deepest introspections and advice for living a life in accordance with nature and reason. Regarded as a literary monument to the governance of self and others, 'Meditations' remains a seminal work in the understanding of ancient Stoic thought and continues to inspire modern readership with its timeless wisdom and the universality of its human concerns. The literary style of the 'Meditations' is one of stark simplicity and poignant rumination, which reflects the intimate and personal nature of the work. Each entry within the text serves as a self-contained unit of contemplation, aimed at improving Marcus Aurelius's own character and thus the quality of his reign.
