The Communings with Himself of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Emperor of Rome: Together with His Speeches and Sayings: English Text
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Stoics of the Roman Era Collection contains essays and other writings of several prominent philosophers from the time of Nero’s reign until the rule of Marcus Aurelius. In the first couple centuries following the birth of Christ, numerous philosophers wrestled with the philosophies of human morality, ethics, happy life, forgiveness, and emotional and spiritual trials. Seneca’s collection of essays (Ad Lucillium Epistulae Morales vol. 1–3 and Moral Essays, vol. 1–3) discusses the philosophical approach to happiness and satisfaction, exploring specific topics such as wealth, anger, leisure, and tranquility. You’ll find deep analysis of human ethics from Epictetus in his collection of discourses (Discourses, books 1–4). These discourses were recorded by Epictetus’ pupil Arrian during Epictetus’ time as a teacher at the “Healing Place for Sick Souls” school. The students studying under Epictetus learned about the Stoic philosophy of hidden emotions and the ability to endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings. This volume contains C. R. Haines’ English translation of Marcus Aurelius’ The Communings with Himself of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Emperor of Rome: Together with His Speeches and Sayings.
