"Meditations" is a collection of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180. The work consists of his private notes and ideas on Stoic philosophy. The books were not written in chronological order and were intended for the author himself. Aurelius emphasizes finding one's place in the universe and returning to nature. He promotes maintaining focus, ethical principles, and avoiding indulgence in sensory affections. The work has been praised for its intensity and inspiration, but also criticized for being contradictory and inconsistent. It has had a significant impact on various individuals throughout history, including political leaders and philosophers. The original Greek edition was published in 1559, but the source has been lost. Several English translations have been made over the years. The purpose of the writings may have been for mental stimulation, as Aurelius was removed from the cultural and intellectual life of Rome during the time of writing.
