Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius by Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius
"Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius" by Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius is a series of personal writings composed between 170-180 CE. Written in Greek as private notes to himself during military campaigns, these reflections explore Stoic philosophy and self-improvement. The twelve books contain quotations ranging from single sentences to long paragraphs, emphasizing rational thinking, cosmic perspective, and ethical living. Never intended for publication, this work reveals an emperor's intimate struggle to maintain wisdom
and virtue amid the chaos of war and rule. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
