Description

Meditations is a collection of personal notes written by Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor, on how to improve himself and live a virtuous life. These notes, written in Greek, were compiled after his death and provide insight into the stoic philosophy that was prevalent during the Roman Empire.

Translated by George Long, a Cambridge-educated scholar and linguist, this edition presents the original text in a faithful and direct translation. The book is divided into twelve chapters, offering a clear and concise exploration of the stoic philosophy and its application to everyday life.

Published in 1862, this edition of Meditations is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius and the Roman Empire's "Pax Romana" age. The book's themes of self-reflection, personal growth, and the importance of living in accordance with nature remain relevant today.
