    This review is about a variation of the product

    A very special book whose subject is not for everyone, the writing style, as it was written 2000 years ago, is different from what we are used to, its meaning is difficult but it is a milestone

    This review is about a variation of the product

    The author shows a certain wisdom — although, between us, writing notes to yourself and letting them become a global best-seller is a bit unstoic. He should have burned them.
    The writing is contemplative, full of inner discipline. That is, everything a stoic would wish not to have to read, because he already practices them.
    The humor is nonexistent — but that is a virtue, not a flaw.
    I give it 3/5 because perfection is for the gods, and excess for the frivolous. I am simply doing my duty.

Description & Specifications

The work of Marcus Aurelius Meditations was written after 172 AD, while the author already held the imperial office (161-180 AD).

Marcus Aurelius, in the agonizing question of the time, how one can achieve happiness, answers as a true Stoic: the liberation from passions and intense emotions (pleasure, pain), apathy towards the external world, indifference to material goods contribute to the conquest of inner peace.

The series "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, which includes the ancient text, modern Greek translation and commentary, consists of 2 volumes. Specifically, it includes:

  • Complete Works 1 - Meditations I-VI: The personal reflections of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, one of the greatest and most famous works of the New Stoicism, a sample of ethical-practical reflection and Stoic views on God and nature.
  • Complete Works 2 - Meditations VII-XII: The second part of the personal reflections of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, a work in which the principles of Stoicism are presented, given with the character of the author's personal thoughts, which are sometimes accompanied by controlled outbursts and sometimes by melancholic tones and take the form of either comments on the views and aphorisms of earlier philosophers or observations addressed by the author to himself or personal reflective thoughts of an apologetic nature.
