The philosophical thoughts of Emperor Marcus Aurelius are presented
here in a superb reprint, brimming with the intellect and sincerity
of the author. Known for his tolerance and benevolence, Marcus
Aurelius was the only Emperor to tolerate satire of his own
character. As a ruler he was renowned for sound judgment, respected
for both his military successes and for his wise, measured
governance. Such deeds were derived from his education; a lifelong
admirer of the Greek philosophers, Aurelius developed his own,
unique interpretation of Stoicism which is encapsulated in this
text. Though Aurelius was the final of the `Five Good Emperors',
the precepts of his Meditations would be consulted by rulers -
Roman and otherwise - for millennia to follow. While Rome
experienced decline and chaos, its historians and scholars
remembered Marcus Aurelius as a pinnacle of competence.
