Marcus Aurelius - Meditations 1 review
Preface by A. C. Grayling Marcus Aurelius; Translated by Maxwell Staniforth
The Folio Society, 2003
The Wisdom of an Emperor Philosopher
After being a fan of Epictetus for a few years, I decided I wanted to expand my Stoic philosopher experiences. I chose to read Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations," and quickly discovered that this classic book has many different versions. In all honesty, I am not sure that I picked the best version.
While I certainly felt that this version was a good read, I would be hard-pressed to call ...

Meditations 1 review
Marcus Aurelius with an introduction by Andy Fiala
Barnes & Noble Books, 2003
The Philosopher King
Marcus Aurelius's Meditations is a thoughtful set of personal reflections on living and the purpose of life. The cornerstone of his philosophy was Stoicism, which does come across as a bit severe. There are many timeless maxims and thoughts expressed in his notes that are certainly worth remembering and even trying to apply to one's own life today. Some of the well-known quotes and themes ...

Marcus Aurelius

The Hays translation: interesting and readable.
Those turned off by older translations of "Meditations" containing all the "thys" and "thous" (as I was) need wait no longer....Gregory Hays has saved the day.
This is an excellent and very readable version of the ancient Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius' personal notebooks and musings, and it can be extremely valuable to the inner seeker.
Personal responsiblity in every aspect of life is ...

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus: And a Selection from the Letters of Marcus and Fronto1 review
Marcus Aurelius
Oxford University Press, USA, 1990
Inner peace and ethical living
This is a truly great book, and I've read it three times now. This is inspite of the fact that the style is a bit dense for the modern reader. Personally, I have always been attracted to the Stoic emphasis on inner peace and ethical living according to the example of nature and the cosmos. It is not surprising to me that Aurelius was also a great influence on Henry David Thoreau. I understand ...

A handbook to transform consciousness
I have read several translations of this work and have found the C.R. Haines version to be the best in terms of clarity and annotation. The format is also excellent, measuring just 4 by 6 inches, making it easy to keep in your pocket for daily reading.

If you ever hear someone turn the phrase, "when philosophers ...
