Description

The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (a.d. 121-180) embodied in his person that deeply cherished, ideal figure of antiquity, the philosopher-king. His Meditations are not only one of the most important expressions of the Stoic philosophy of his time but also an enduringly inspiring guide to living a good and just life. Written in moments snatched from military campaigns and the rigors of politics, these ethical and spiritual reflections reveal a mind of exceptional clarity and originality, and a spirit attuned to both the particulars of human destiny and the vast patterns that underlie it.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was born to an upper-class Roman family in A.D. 121 and
was later adopted by the future emperor Antoninus Pius, whom he succeeded in 161.
His reign was marked by a successful campaign against Parthia, but was overshadowed
in later years by plague, an abortive revolt in the eastern provinces, and the deaths
of friends and family, including his co-emperor Lucius Verus. A student of philosophy
from his earliest youth, he was especially influenced by the first-century Stoic
thinker Epictetus. His later reputation rests on his Meditations, written during
his later years and never meant for formal publication. He died in 180, while campaigning
against the barbarian tribes on Rome's northern frontier.

A. S. L. Farquharson (1871-1942) spent a lifetime on his edition of the Meditations, which is one of the outstanding twentieth-century achievements of classical scholarship. All the notes to the Farquharson translation, amplifying the twelve books of the Meditations, are included in this volume.
