Meditations
Marcus Aurelius's personal reflections, written during military campaigns, offer Stoic wisdom on virtue, rationality, and acceptance of fate. These private notes, never intended for publication, provide insight into the mind of a philosopher-king grappling with power, mortality, and the human condition. The work remains a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy and practical wisdom.
