Kitab haqqında

Marcus Aurelius (121-180 CE) was a Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, best known for his book Meditations. His Meditations (written in Greek during military campaigns) were not meant for publication - they were his private reflections on how to live well and fulfill his responsibilities.

He ruled the Roman Empire from 161 to 180 CE and is remembered as one of the "Five Good Emperors." Despite facing wars and a deadly plague during his reign, he remained calm, fair, and deeply philosophical.

Marcus Aurelius remains a timeless symbol of wisdom, self-control, and leadership guided by philosophy. His words continue to inspire readers to live with courage, compassion, and purpose.

"Marcus' goal of mentally equipping himself to deal with what comes his way explains the Meditations' often aphoristic and sloganeering style (e.g. 'Erase impressions!'; 'Do nothing at random!'; 'Those who now bury will soon be buried!")."

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Marcus' frequently used technique of deflating what most suppose to be of great value fame, political power, wealth, luxurious clothing, sex.
