In this episode, we reflect on Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy composed as personal writings by the Roman Emperor during a time of profound social and political upheaval. Though never meant for publication, Meditations offers powerful insights into self-discipline, virtue, the acceptance of fate, and the fleeting nature of life. We explore the book’s historical context, its introspective and fragmented structure, and the enduring relevance of its core Stoic themes in today’s world.
