商品描述

A deluxe special edition of the ancient classic written by the Roman Emperor known as "The Philosopher"

Meditations is a series of personal journals written by Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome from 169 to 180 AD. The last of the "Five Good Emperors," he was the most powerful and influential man in the Western world at the time. Marcus was one of the leaders of Stoicism, a philosophy of personal ethics which sought resilience and virtue through personal action and responsibility. Stoicism, viewed as a foundation of modern self-help, has inspired many personal development and psychotherapy approaches through to the present day.

Meditations is perhaps the most important source of our modern understanding of Stoic philosophy. Its twelve books chronicle different stages of Marcus Aurelius' life and ideas. Although he ruled during the Pax Romana, the age of relative peace and stability throughout the empire, his reign was marked by near-constant military conflict and a devastating plague which killed upwards of five million people. Aurelius' writings give modern readers an unprecedented look into the "spiritual exercises" which helped him through his tumultuous life and strengthened his patience, empathy, generosity, self-knowledge and emotional health. The private reflections recorded in the Meditations were never meant to be published, rather they were a source for Marcus' own guidance and self-improvement, and jotted down by campfires or in military tents on the Roman front. The lessons, insights and perspectives contained within this remarkable work are just as relevant today as they were two millennia ago. This volume:

  • Presents the timeless wisdom of Emperor Marcus Aurelius and his Stoic philosophy, with new research on his life and times
  • Contains valuable insights on topics such as resilience, moderation and emotional control
  • Discusses how to live "in agreement with nature" and abide by strong ethical principles

Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon, this attractive, high-quality hardcover volume includes:

  • An original Introduction by Marcus Aurelius authority and Stoicism expert Donald Robertson, author of How To Think Like A Roman Emperor.
  • A modernised, up to date version of the classic George Long translation.

Meditations: The Philosophy Classic is a volume which will occupy a prominent place in any library for years to come.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

由被稱為「哲學家」的羅馬皇帝所寫的古典名著豪華特別版

沉思錄是羅馬皇帝馬庫斯·奧勒留（Marcus Aurelius）於公元169年至180年間所寫的一系列個人日記。作為「五位好皇帝」中的最後一位，他在當時是西方世界最有權力和影響力的人物。馬庫斯是斯多噶學派的領導者之一，這是一種追求通過個人行動和責任來獲得韌性和美德的個人倫理哲學。斯多噶學派被視為現代自助的基礎，至今仍啟發著許多個人發展和心理治療的方法。

沉思錄或許是我們現代對斯多噶哲學理解中最重要的來源。其十二本書記錄了馬庫斯·奧勒留生活和思想的不同階段。儘管他在羅馬和平時期統治，這是一個帝國相對和平與穩定的時代，但他的統治卻伴隨著幾乎不斷的軍事衝突和一場致命的瘟疫，造成超過五百萬人喪生。奧勒留的著作讓現代讀者前所未有地窺見了幫助他度過動盪生活的「精神鍛煉」，並增強了他的耐心、同理心、慷慨、自我認知和情緒健康。沉思錄中記錄的私人反思從未打算出版，而是馬庫斯自我指導和自我提升的來源，這些反思是在營火旁或羅馬前線的軍營帳篷中匆忙寫下的。這部卓越作品中所包含的教訓、見解和觀點，今天依然與兩千年前一樣相關。這本書：


  • 呈現了馬庫斯·奧勒留皇帝及其斯多噶哲學的永恆智慧，並包含對其生活和時代的新研究

  • 包含有關韌性、節制和情緒控制等主題的寶貴見解

  • 討論如何「與自然和諧相處」並遵循強有力的倫理原則

這本吸引人的高品質精裝書是由Tom Butler-Bowdon編輯的暢銷書系列Capstone Classics Series的一部分，包含：


  • 由馬庫斯·奧勒留權威及斯多噶學派專家Donald Robertson撰寫的原創導言，他是如何像羅馬皇帝一樣思考的作者。

  • 經過現代化、更新的經典喬治·朗（George Long）翻譯版本。

沉思錄：哲學經典將在未來多年內在任何圖書館中佔據重要位置。
