This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

Tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind

The extraordinary writings of Marcus Aurelius (CE 121-180), the only Roman emperor to have also been a Stoic philosopher, have for centuries been praised for their wisdom, insight and guidance by leaders and great thinkers alike. Never intended for publication, Meditations are the personal notes of a warrior-king studying his unique position of power, surrounded by loss and human fragility.

Boldly confronting many of our greatest questions, Meditations wrestles with the complexities of human nature, rationality and moral virtue. This timeless and significant text will provide both inspiration and comfort to the twenty-first-century reader.
