Autorenporträt
Emperor Marcus Aurelius, born on April 26, 121 AD, in Rome, was not only a Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD but also a stoic philosopher whose contributions to Western philosophy remain influential. His work, 'Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus' (commonly known as 'Meditations'), is a seminal text that encapsulates his stoic philosophy and offers guidance on personal ethics. Written during his military campaigns, this series of personal writings provides insights into his inner life and the practice of his philosophical precepts. Marcus Aurelius has been revered as one of the 'Five Good Emperors' in Roman history and is remembered for his dedication to administering the vast Roman Empire with wisdom and equanimity. 'Meditations', originally untitled by him and written in Greek, is a cornerstone in the pantheon of philosophical works, illustrating the application of stoic philosophy to daily living. The text emphasizes virtues like rationality, self-discipline, and inner calm, positioning Aurelius not only as a key figure in Roman history but also as a significant moral philosopher whose reflections continue to resonate with contemporary audiences seeking to find meaning in a complex world.
