Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121-180 CE) was the sixteenth emperor of Rome--and by far the most powerful man in the world. Yet he was also an intensely private person, with a rich interior life and one of the wisest minds of his generation. He collected his thoughts in notebooks, gems that have come to be called his Meditations. Never intended for publication, the work has proved an inexhaustible source of wisdom and one of the most important Stoic texts of all time. In often passionate language, the entries range from one-line aphorisms to essays, from profundity to bitterness. This annotated edition offers the definitive translation of this classic and much beloved text, with copious notes from world-renowned classics expert Robin Waterfield. It illuminates one of the greatest works of popular philosophy for new readers and enriches the understanding of even the most devoted Stoic.

A clareza de um pensador milenar

É impressionante a clareza da mente de uma pessoa que viveu há quase 2000 anos.

Marcus Aurélius mostra o quão comprometido foi com seus princípios e com sua ânsia por viver pela sociedade.

O livro é uma espécie de diário auto-reflexivo, no qual o imperador vai refletir e se cobrar sobre suas ações e angústias.

Recomendado para quem se interessa por grandes questões do universo, estoicismo, filosofia greco-romana e a vida e a morte.
