Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and Aurelius’s own emotions. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years.Написанные на греческом языке римским императором без какого-либо намерения публиковаться, «Размышления Марка Аврелия» (121–180 гг. н. э.) предлагают широкий спектр захватывающих духовных размышлений и упражнений, разработанных по мере того, как лидер пытался понять себя и понять вселенную. От сомнений и отчаяния до убежденности и экзальтации они охватывают такие разнообразные темы, как вопрос добродетели, человеческая рациональность, природа богов и собственные эмоции Аврелия. Но в то время как «Размышления» были составлены для личного утешения, развивая свои убеждения, Марк также создал одно из величайших из всех философских произведений: ряд мудрых и практических афоризмов, которыми государственные деятели, мыслители и рядовые читатели восхищались на протяжении почти двух тысяч лет.
