Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius

In this new study John Sellars offers a fresh examination of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations as a work of philosophy by placing it against the background of the tradition of Stoic philosophy to which Marcus was committed. The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius is a perennial bestseller attracting countless readers drawn to its unique mix of philosophical reflection and practical advice. The emperor is usually placed alongside Seneca and Epictetus as one of three great Roman Stoic authors but he wears his philosophy lightly not feeling the need to state explicitly the ideas standing behind the reflections that he was writing for himself. As a consequence his standing as a philosopher has often been questioned. Challenging claims that Marcus Aurelius was merely an eclectic thinker that the Meditations do not fit the model of a work of philosophy that there are no arguments in the work and that it only contains superficial moral advice Sellars shows that he was in constant dialogue with his Stoic predecessors engaging with themes drawn from all three parts of Stoicism: logic physics and ethics. The image of Marcus Aurelius that emerges is of a committed Stoic engaging with a wide range of philosophical topics motivated by the desire to live a good life. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students of both Classics and Philosophy.

An Analysis of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations

An Analysis of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations

Despite being written between 170 and 180 Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations often resonates with modern readers because of its remarkable resemblance to a self-help book. Written as a series of personal notes in the last decade of his reign as Roman emperor the meditations were never intended for circulation. But they remain today among the classics of stoic philosophy – and as exquisite examples of problem-solving. Meditations sees a great leader engaged in solving one of the central problems of all philosophy: how to live a good life. Marcus Aurelius is quick to ask questions and generate solutions all of which lead him to a greater understanding of what a good life really is. He makes the decision that philosophy is an important tool we can use every day to help us understand and deal with the world. The best way to get to the bottom of a problem he records is to analyze its different aspects with care – this will help to ‘dissolve’ the issue. To keep our minds well balanced it is vital to keep our desire for the material and the sensual in check to avoid falling prey to negative behaviors like jealousy quarrelling and indulgence. Philosophy the Meditations show can also help us to understand other people’s problems and difficulties – acting as a continual spur to the consideration and resolution of problems wherever they arise. | An Analysis of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations
