Meditations

A new translation with an introduction by Gregory Hays

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (A.D. 121–180) ascended to the throne as Emperor of Rome in 161, succeeding his adoptive father – and the Meditations remain one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. With a profound understanding of human behavior, Marcus offers insights, wisdom, and practical advice on everything from living a life in the world to dealing with adversity and interacting with others. Consequently, the Meditations have become essential reading for statesmen and philosophers, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the immediate intimacy of his style. In the new translation by Gregory Hays – the first in a generation – Marcus' thoughts resonate with a new immediacy: they have never been presented so directly and powerfully.
