"Meditations" is a series of personal writings by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, originally intended for his own self-improvement rather than for publication. Composed in Greek during his military campaigns, the text reflects Stoic philosophy, emphasizing themes such as the importance of rationality, virtue, and the acceptance of fate. Aurelius contemplates the nature of the universe, the transient nature of life, and the necessity of maintaining equanimity in the face of challenges. The work serves as a guide to practical ethics and mental resilience, encouraging readers to focus on what they can control and to live in harmony with nature and reason.
