Marcus Aurelius kan as 'n ware filosoof-koning beskou word. Ten spyte van sy roem en weelderige lewe aan die hof, het hy voortdurend gestreef na 'n eenvoudige lewe, innerlike vryheid en persoonlike spirituele groei.

Sy Meditasies of Bepeinsinge wat tydens sy laaste lewensjare neergeskryf is, is in 12 boeke verdeel en is nie filosofiese teoriee nie, maar praktiese oefeninge om die filosofie in die leser se gedagtes en optrede te laat deurwerk. Hy besin oor die heelal en die mens as deel daarvan, die verantwoordelikhede van die mens as 'n sosiale wese, verdraagsaamheid teenoor alle mense, hoe om in harmonie met ander en in ooreenstemming met jou ware aard te leef, hoe om te aanvaar wat met jou gebeur, en uiteindelik ook die dood te aanvaar.

Tydens Marcus se heerskappy is die Christene kwaai vervolg, maar tog het sy denke oor 'n ingetoe leefwyse wat nie deur drif nie, maar deur verantwoordelikheid en plig beheer word.
