In short, highly charged comments, Marcus draws on Stoic philosophy to confront challenges that he felt acutely, but which are also shared by all human beings--facing the constant presence of death, making sense of one's social role, grasping the moral significance of the universe. They bring us closer to the personality of the emperor, who is often disillusioned with his own status and with human activities in general; they are both an historical document and a remarkable spiritual diary. This translation by Robin Hard brings out the eloquence and universality of Marcus' thoughts. The introduction and notes by Christopher Gill take account of the most recent work on Marcus and place the \u003cem\u003eMeditations\u003c\/em\u003e firmly in the ancient philosophical context. A newly translated selection of\u003cbr\u003eMarcus' correspondence with his tutor Fronto broadens the picture of the emperor as a person and thinker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobin Hard\u003c\/strong\u003e has also translated the work of Stoic philosopher Epictetus. \u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Gill\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Ancient Thought at the University of Exeter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.6 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 25, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42694905659455,"sku":"9780199573202","price":12.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/049f8e344ac31787085589caa8e1ee24.webp?v=1765002321","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/meditations-with-selected-correspondence-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
