'Do not act as if you had ten thousand years to live ... while you have life in        you, while you still can, make yourself good.'The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD        121-180) is a private notebook of philosophical reflections, written by a Roman        emperor probably on military campaign in Germany. In short, highly charged comments,        Marcus draws on Stoic philosophy to confront challenges that he felt acutely, but        which are also shared by all human beings - the looming presence of death, making        sense of one's social role and projects, the moral significance of the universe.          They bring us closer to thepersonality of the emperor, who is often disillusioned        with his own status and with human activities in general; they are both an        historical document and a remarkable spiritual diary.This translation by Robin Hard        brings out the eloquence and universality of Marcus' thoughts. The introduction and        notes by Christopher Gill place the Meditations firmly in the ancient philosophical        context. A selection of Marcus' correspondence with his tutor Fronto broadens the        picture of the emperor as a person and thinker.
