This new work draws from Marcus AureliusâÂÂone of the last great pre-Christian voices of classical Western philosophy and spiritualityâÂÂthe essential threads of his thinking in the Meditations weaving them into a more contemporary and coherent form. Recasting a meeting that actually took place between Marcus and four other historical figures of classical antiquity, the book's situational stage allows Marcus to discuss and defend his beliefs with a clarity not found in the Meditations.
Reviews
"Overall, this book presents a splendid compression and a compelling synthesis of Marcus Aurelius's thought (and something of the author's own too). This accessible, elegantly designed volume is, quite simply, a blessing." --"The Compulsive Reader"
