Commentary

Emperor of Rome from A.D. 161 to A.D. 180, Marcus Aurelius is remembered as the “Philosopher King,” largely because of his classic work “Meditations,” a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy that delves into such themes as reason, virtue, self-control, self-improvement, and finding peace in a turbulent world.
