SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote his famous Meditations during his grueling campaigns against the warmongering barbarians (A.D. 121-180). They are practical statements of ethical behavior, undergirded by a deep religious faith. The central premise is that man's fate is chosen by the gods, who naturally can choose better than man. Adopted by his grandfather when his parents died young, Aurelius led a privileged youth which included an education by several personal tutors, including his uncle, Emperor Aurelius Antoninus, whom he would later succeed as Emperor. Marcus Aurelius was a contemplative man whose sense of duty and honor set an example for the ages that followed. His Meditations reveal a mind possessing great stature and natural humility, and represent the last great statement of Stoic philosophy.
