Overpeinzingen
Met 'Overpeinzingen' van de Romeinse keizer Marcus Aurelius (161-180) vind je richtingwijzers naar innerlijke rust en ethische zekerheid in een ogenschijnlijk chaotische wereld. Aurelius adviseert je om los te laten waar je geen invloed op hebt, en te focussen op je eigen wil en perspectief. De keizer zag zijn wereld geteisterd worden door natuurrampen en oorlog. Te midden van deze uitdagingen schreef hij deze overpeinzingen in zijn dagboek. Vandaag de dag leest zijn levensfilosofie actueler dan ooit. Marcus Aurelius wordt beschouwd als de laatste grote vertegenwoordiger van de Stoa, een filosofische stroming in de klassieke oudheid. Tijdens zijn veldtochten hield hij een filosofisch dagboek bij. Deze persoonlijke aantekeningen laten hem zien als een van de nobelste figuren uit de klassieke oudheid. Marcus Aurelius' stoïcisme is vooral een praktische levensfilosofie. 'Overpeinzingen' bevat een gevarieerde collectie fascinerende spirituele ontboezemingen en overdenkingen. Ze zijn ontstaan tijdens zijn moeizame zoektocht naar zichzelf en naar de zin van het universum. Ze vertellen over twijfel en wanhoop, maar ook over overtuiging en vervoering. Uit de inleidende tekst bij 'Overpeinzingen': 'Deze geschriften bevatten veelvuldige aanwijzingen hoe men zich zo kan gedragen dat men leeft in overeenstemming met de natuur. Hierbij dient men voor ogen te houden dat de stoïcijnen een leven overeenkomstig de natuur beschouwen als de weg die leidt tot het voornaamste doel van de mens: volkomen geluk. De beschouwingen van Marcus Aurelius ‘tot zichzelf’ zijn het resultaat van een levenslange zelfbeschouwing en kunnen eenieder die geluk zoekt vele waardevolle aanwijzingen geven.'

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (Hardcover)
The philosophical thoughts of Emperor Marcus Aurelius are presented here in a superb reprint, brimming with the intellect and sincerity of the author. Known for his tolerance and benevolence, Marcus Aurelius was the only Emperor to tolerate satire of his own character. As a ruler he was renowned for sound judgment, respected for both his military successes and for his wise, measured governance. Such deeds were derived from his education; a lifelong admirer of the Greek philosophers, Aurelius developed his own, unique interpretation of Stoicism which is encapsulated in this text. Though Aurelius was the final of the 'Five Good Emperors', the precepts of his Meditations would be consulted by rulers - Roman and otherwise - for millennia to follow. While Rome experienced decline and chaos, its historians and scholars remembered Marcus Aurelius as a pinnacle of competence.

The Meditations of Marcius Aurelius (Hardcover)
The profundity and spirit of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius is brought out superbly in this hardcover edition of the Meditations, translated by George Long. All twelve books are present, complete with original footnotes which help to clarify and explain the meanings behind the passages. Since the original text was written in Greek after the spirit of many classical philosophers, an index of Greek terminology is also included at the conclusion for the benefit of the reader. The spirit of Stoicism, whereby Marcus Aurelius details a lifetime spent cultivating good habits, manners, attitude and evenness of temperament are laid out upon these pages evocatively. Many of the pages are thought to have been written at Sirmium, during periods of military planning. It is a strongly autobiographical text; each book focuses upon a different time - from upbringing to youth to maturity. The writing is famously frank, clear and honest - with none of the superiority or pretense one might expect of an Emperor of Rome.
