    Shaftesbury’s private notebooks, the Askêmata (1698–1704), are, like Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, reminders of principles and exhortations to live by them, full of quotations from Marcus.

Stanowisko

Marcus Aurelius wrote his Meditations – notes “to himself” in Greek – as a private spiritual exercise, never meant for publication. Again and again he reminds himself that everything is transient, that the cosmos is a rational whole and that each person has a place in it to fill with duty, justice and kindness. Disturbance comes from our judgements, not from things; obstacles can become material for virtue. What makes the book so moving is the tension between the most powerful man in the world and his daily effort to remain humble, patient and fair. It remains one of the most widely read works of ancient philosophy.

Życie i kontekst

Marcus Aurelius was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 CE. Adopted into the ruling family as a youth, he was educated by the leading teachers of his time, among them the Stoic Junius Rusticus, who introduced him to the teachings of Epictetus. Much of his reign was spent on military campaigns along the Danube, during which he died.
