Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius (180 CE)
Meditations is a series of personal reflections written by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius between 180 CE and his death in 180 CE.
The work is written as a collection of 12 books, each containing Aurelius’s thoughts on Stoic philosophy.
The book is widely considered to be one of the greatest works of Stoic philosophy and is credited with inspiring many philosophers after him.
Meditations focuses on themes such as self-discipline, duty, and moral responsibility.
Aurelius uses his reflections as a way to remind himself of his own Stoic principles and how he should live his life.
One of the main themes of the book is the idea of ‘living in accordance with nature’, which Aurelius believes is the key to living a good life.
He encourages his readers to practice self-control and to live in harmony with their environment and peers.
