The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius are treasured today―as they have been over the centuries―as an inexhaustible source of wisdom. And as one of the three most important expressions of Stoicism, this is an essential text for everyone interested in ancient religion and philosophy. Yet the clarity and ease of the work’s style are deceptive. Pierre Hadot, eminent historian of ancient thought, uncovers new levels of meaning and expands our understanding of its underlying philosophy.
Written by the Roman emperor for his own private guidance and self-admonition, the Meditations set forth principles for living a good and just life. Hadot probes Marcus Aurelius’s guidelines and convictions and discerns the hitherto unperceived conceptual system that grounds them. Abundantly quoting the Meditations to illustrate his analysis, the author allows Marcus Aurelius to speak directly to the reader. And Hadot unfolds for us the philosophical context of the Meditations, commenting on the philosophers Marcus Aurelius read and giving special attention to the teachings of Epictetus, whose disciple he was.
The soul, the guiding principle within us, is in Marcus Aurelius’s Stoic philosophy an inviolable stronghold of freedom, the “inner citadel.” This spirited and engaging study of his thought offers a fresh picture of the fascinating philosopher-emperor, a fuller understanding of the tradition and doctrines of Stoicism, and rich insight on the culture of the Roman empire in the second century. Pierre Hadot has been working on Marcus Aurelius for more than twenty years; in this book he distills his analysis and conclusions with extraordinary lucidity for the general reader.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Pierre Hadot was Professor Emeritus at the Collège de France. His books include Philosophy as a Way of Life and Plotinus.

Harvard University Press, Cambridge (Mass.) / London, 2001. 2nd impr. XII,351p. Paperback. Front cover near spine with some wrinkles. Signature in pencil on half title. 'The present study is a synthesis (of earlier work by Hadot - [ND] on Marcus Aurelius) aimed at a wider public: reference to ancient sources is full and frequent, but all are translated, and Greek words are transliterated. After four introductory chapters that expertly convey a wealth of information on the career of the emperor, the problems that face the reader on first encounter with the text, the ancient tradition of self-discipline through reading and composing philosophic exercises, and the debt to Epictetus, the core of the book examines the nature of Epictetus' Stoicism and the way in which the tripartite model of spiritual self-examination which Epictetus supplies is worked out repeatedly, even incessantly, in the 'Meditations'. This model involves three disciplines: that of assent (acceptance of what nature wills), that of impulse or action, and that of desire. A substantial chapter is devoted to each, showing how the apparent disorder and variety of Marcus' reflections can cohere as a fundamentally simple system of beliefs. (.) The threads are drawn together in a long chapter offering an overall reading of the 'Meditations' and of Marcus' outlook (pp.243-306). (.) H.'s account is a powerful and well-grounded reading of the 'Meditations'. (.) The nature of his book excludes detailed stylistic comment (.). But on doctrinal matters and on the argumentative texture he is an incomparable guide. (.) The translation, by Michael Chase, has been very well done (.).' (R.B. RUTHERFORD in The Classical Review (New Series), 2001, pp.298-300). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 63950
