The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (Aziloth Books), Paperback

de: Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius was Emperor of Rome from 161 - 180 AD. His rule was absolute and - as the lives of other Emperors reveal only too clearly - he was able, with impunity, to indulge in any vice, crime or licentious behaviour he chose. Yet Marcus Aurelius resisted all such temptations, thanks to his belief in stoic philosophy. In The Meditations, (which was never intended for public view), Aurelius examines his inner nature, intimately describing his flaws and talents, and admonishing himself to live a good life. It is astonishing that this book exists - filled with great wisdom, and written by a Roman Emperor who reaches out over almost 2000 years to speak with us about the mysteries of life and death.

Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius (121-180 d.Hr.) a fost unul dintre cei mai importanti imparati romani ai antichitatii. S-a nascut la Rome si a fost adoptat de catre imparatul Hadrian in 145 d.Hr. Numele sau din nastere a fost M. Annius Verus. El a reusit sa conduca Imperiul roman in mare parte fara conflicte, astfel ca timpul sau de domnie a fost cunoscut ca si "Sfarsitul de Aur al Imperiului Roman". Marcus Aurelius a fost membru al filozofilor stoici, care urmau principiul ca destinul nostru este predeterminat si ca destinul se poate schimba prin practica spirituala si autocontrol, fara sa punem prea multa dorinta in lucrurile materiale. Acest principiu a fost sustinut in doua carti scrise de el, "Meditatii" si "Scrierile, despre viata si filozofie" (Cartea despre Acest lucru). Vezi toate cartile scrise de Marcus Aurelius
