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.'

Major Works of the Stoics 3-Book Boxed Set
A beautiful boxed set of the major works by the three great Stoic philosophers, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith'Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretence.'This collection presents the greatest works by the three major Stoic philosophers, in beautiful hardback editions designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Meditations, written by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to provide personal consolation, is one of the most influential works of philosophy of all time. Seneca's Letters to a Stoic upholds the ideals of Stoicism - the wisdom of the self-possessed person immune to life's setbacks - while valuing friendship and courage. And in his Discourses, Epictetus argues that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not. Together, these works offer a complete education in Stoicism.

The Thoughts (Meditations) of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus - with biographical sketch, philosophy of, illustrations, index and index of terms
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius is a life-changing book. Among others, it contains the following reflections: "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." "When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ..." "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius is a life-changing book. It contains the private meditations of the most powerful man in the Roman world, the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, as he wrestled with the complexities of his life using the wisdom of Stoic Philosophy. Meditations is written in lucid, accessible language and, interestingly, we see that the problems and perplexities of this philosopher-King are much like ours. Marcus Aurelius was impressively able to live out his philosophical ideals-such as the importance of gratitude, mindfulness, simplicity and life-long learning, of seizing the day, and of remembering the shortness of life-while administering the Roman Empire. Marcus Aurelius (121-180 AD) was the last of the five "good Roman emperors". The Emperor Hadrian adopted Titus Aurelius Antoninus, thereby choosing him to succeed him, and arranged for Antonius to adopt Marcus, and thus, from a young age, Marcus was groomed for power. During this time, he devoted himself to philosophy with passion and diligence. At the age of forty he became Emperor and was known as Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus. Remarkably in a culture of absolute power, he insisted that his adoptive brother and co-consul, Lucius, be elevated to co-emperor. The historian Herodian, a contemporary, wrote: "he gave proof of his learning not by mere words or knowledge of philosophical doctrines but by his blameless character and temperate way of life." Marcus Aurelius is now best remembered for Meditations, which is, perhaps, the greatest single work of Stoic philosophy. Stoic philosophy is, above all, practical. It uses reason and the careful observation of human life to address the problems of daily life. It is also universal-the Emperor Marcus Aurelius and the freed slave Epictetus were both prominent Stoic philosophers. In recent years, Stoic philosophy has provided invaluable life lessons to people in many spheres of life including prisoners of war and Holocaust survivors, psychiatrists, and those in the business world. Indeed, modern Stoic thought "hold[s] fascinating promise for business and government leaders tackling global problems in a turbulent, post-recession slump," (Forbes). This edition is complete and unabridged and contains Introduction, Notes, Appendix containing correspondence with his tutor Fronto, and a number of illustrations and both an index and index of terms.
