Major worksMeditations
The Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher whose private notebook, the Meditations, was written for himself alone as a discipline of reflection while he ruled and campaigned. Its candid, searching entries on duty, mortality, and the acceptance of fate have made it one of the most beloved and enduring works of practical philosophy ever written.
