Autoren-Profil

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was born in A.D. 121 into a noble Roman family. Adopted by Antoninus Pius, who later became emperor, Marcus received a careful education from able teachers, including the esteemed rhetorician Fronto. He was trained in the strict doctrine of Stoic philosophy, which became his great delight and informed his approach to life lessons and personal ethics. Meditations, his most famous work, is not a formal treatise but a collection of deeply personal reflections and daily meditations, written for himself to ease his mind and strengthen his character amidst the burdens of duty and life's annoyances. As an emperor philosopher, Marcus Aurelius faced a life of paradox, including war and personal loss, yet his writing reflects a constant striving for inner peace and emotional resilience. Drawing on ancient wisdom and Stoic principles, he explored themes of self-reflection, mind control, and living according to nature. Key concepts include the distinction between things in our power and indifferent things, the acceptance of fate or Providence, the importance of virtue (virtue ethics), and maintaining tranquility in the face of changing fortunes and the impermanence of life. His quest for practical philosophy and self-discipline shines through his candid notes, making Marcus Aurelius philosophy a timeless guide for personal growth and how to live well.
