Editorial review of the book

Meditations is a collection of personal writings by Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius (121–180 AD), composed as spiritual exercises and reflections on life, duty, and inner strength. The book was not intended for publication but served as his personal journal during military campaigns and political challenges.

In these notes, Aurelius contemplates the impermanence of life, the importance of reason, accepting the inevitable, and maintaining inner peace amidst chaos. His philosophy is rooted in Stoicism, which teaches that happiness comes from virtue, self-discipline, and living in harmony with nature.

Meditations is now regarded as one of the most influential works of classical philosophy, offering timeless wisdom for facing life's challenges.
