by Marcus Aurelius (Author)

The Thoughts Of The Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus is a collection of philosophical reflections and meditations written by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. In this book, Aurelius shares his thoughts on a wide range of subjects, including ethics, virtue, justice, and the nature of the universe. He reflects on the importance of living a virtuous life, and offers advice on how to cultivate inner peace and tranquility in the face of life's challenges. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each of which contains a series of short, pithy aphorisms and reflections. Aurelius' writing is characterized by its clarity, simplicity, and directness, and his thoughts continue to resonate with readers today, nearly two thousand years after they were first written.

About Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aelius Aurelius Antoninus (121-180 CE) was adopted by the emperor Antoninus Pius and succeeded him in 161, (as joint emperor with adoptive brother Lucius Verus). The last of the so-called Five Good Emperors, he ruled alone from 169. Presiding over a changing Rome, he spent much of his reign in putting down variou rebellions. Today, he is best-know for his Meditations, a series of reflections, strongly influenced by Epictetus, which cemented his place as one of the greatest Stoic Philosophers. He died in 180 and was succeed by his natural son, thus ending the period of the adoptive emperors. Diskin Clay is Professor Emeritus of Classical Studies at Duke University and has published widely in the area of Ancient Greek Philosophy. Martin Hammond was Head Master of Tonbridge School and has translated many works of classic literature, including Homer's Iliad for Penguin Classics.
