Few ancient works have been as influential as the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and emperor of Rome (A.D. 161–180). A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Marcus’s insights and advice—on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others—have made the Meditations required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. For anyone who struggles to reconcile the demands of leadership with a concern for personal integrity and spiritual well-being, the Meditations remains as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago.
In Gregory Hays’s new translation—the first in thirty-five years—Marcus’s thoughts speak with a new immediacy. In fresh and unencumbered English, Hays vividly conveys the spareness and compression of the original Greek text. Never before have Marcus’s insights been so directly and powerfully presented.
With an Introduction that outlines Marcus’s life and career, the essentials of Stoic doctrine, the style and construction of the Meditations, and the work’s ongoing influence, this edition makes it possible to fully rediscover the thoughts of one of the most enlightened and intelligent leaders of any era.

作者简介 · · · · · ·
马可·奥勒留(Marcus Aurelius,公元121—180年),著名的“帝王哲学家”,古罗马帝国皇帝,在希腊文学和拉丁文学、修辞、哲学、法律、绘画方面受过很好的教育,晚期斯多葛学派代表人物之一。奥勒留也许是西方历史上唯一的一位哲学家皇帝。他是一个比他的帝国更加完美的人,他的勤奋工作最终并没有能够挽救古罗马,但是他的《沉思录》却成为西方历史上的伟大名著。
马可·奥勒留是一个悲怆的人;在一系列必须加以抗拒的欲望里,他感到其中最具有吸引力的就是想要引退去过一种宁静的乡村生活的那种愿望。但是实现这种愿望的机会始终没有来临。

公元161年,40岁的马可·奥勒留登上了古罗马帝国的皇帝宝座。 这是西方历史上唯一一位哲学家皇帝。可惜那是一个战乱不断、灾难频发的时代,即使马可·奥勒留有坚定的精神与博大的智慧,即使他夙兴夜寐地勤奋工作,也终未能阻挡古罗马帝国的颓势。 在统治期间,马可·奥勒留很少... (展开)论坛 · · · · · ·
