The Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, often referred to as Meditations, is one of the most profound and enduring works of Stoic philosophy ever written. Composed during the Roman Emperor’s military campaigns in the 2nd century AD, this powerful text offers timeless reflections on resilience, duty, mortality, and inner peace.
Written originally in Greek for his own self-improvement, Marcus Aurelius’ personal notes are now widely regarded as a spiritual and ethical guidebook for modern life. This edition includes a clear and accessible English translation, suitable for both casual readers and serious students of classical philosophy.
Ideal for readers drawn to ancient wisdom, mindfulness, and self-mastery, this volume remains a cornerstone of Western thought.
