Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the <em>Meditations</em> as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. They are a significant source of the modern understanding of ancient Stoic philosophy, and have been praised by fellow writers, philosophers, monarchs, and politicians centuries after his death.</p><p>A central theme to <em>Meditations</em> is the importance of analyzing one's judgment of self and others and the development of a cosmic perspective. He advocates finding one's place in the universe and sees that everything came from nature, and so everything shall return to it in due time. Another strong theme is of maintaining focus and to be without distraction all the while maintaining strong ethical principles.</p><p>This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket. </p>
