“Things themselves touch not the soul, not in the least degree; nor have they admission to the soul, nor can they turn or move the soul: but the soul turns and moves itself alone, and whatever judgments it may think proper to make, such it makes for itself the things which present themselves to it.”
Composed in the later part of Aurelius’ years, Meditations is a selection of personal writings posthumously collected for publication.
Though now considered to be one of the most influential works of philosophy, Meditations, as it was originally written, was not a book meant for publication but rather was a series of personal and private musings intended to serve as a guide for self-improvement. Most likely written while Aurelius was on campaign, these notes–varying from sentence to paragraph length–recorded his life in different stages, revealed his perspective on Stoic philosophy, and reflected on the beloved ‘philosopher king’s’ perception of his spiritual and physical self as it existed in the universe.
Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of Meditations reimagines a classic work of philosophy for the modern reader.
