Alone with Oneself. Reflections of a Roman Emperor on Life, Reason, and Soul

Alone with Oneself. Reflections of a Roman Emperor on Life, Reason, and Soul

“Philosopher on the throne” — this is how the great emperor of Ancient Rome Marcus Aurelius is often referred to. He was known not only as a statesman but also as a philosopher, a proponent of Stoicism. The empire thrived... during his reign; he did not compromise his principles, enacted laws based on ancient just rights, and steadfastly followed them. Throughout his life, Marcus Aurelius kept notes of his reflections, which culminated in twelve chapters-books that later merged into one, which you hold in your hands. Today, quotes from this collection are still relevant, and we invite you to delve into this treasure trove of wisdom — reflections on life, reason, and soul.
