"Meditations" is a collection of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, the
Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180. The work consists of his private notes and
ideas on Stoic philosophy. The books were not written in chronological order
and were intended for the author himself. Aurelius emphasizes finding one's
place in the universe and returning to nature. He promotes maintaining focus,
ethical principles, and avoiding indulgence in sensory affections. The work
has been praised for its intensity and inspiration, but also criticized for
being contradictory and inconsistent. It has had a significant impact on
various individuals throughout history, including political leaders and
philosophers. The original Greek edition was published in 1559, but the source
has been lost. Several English translations have been made over the years. The
purpose of the writings may have been for mental stimulation, as Aurelius was
removed from the cultural and intellectual life of Rome during the time of
writing.
