The classic collection of writings by second-century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius is one of the foundational texts of Stoic philosophy—and remains an evergreen bestseller centuries later, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line.

A compendium of ruminations and reflections by the second-century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, a staunch adherent to Stoic philosophy. It is a spiritual journal of the author's philosophical exercises and a chronicle of the paradox of the philosopher-king, who must enforce the law and administer justice while looking beyond politics to the cosmic vantage point from which the tribulations of politics come to seem trivial.

Meditations invites the reader into the mind of a ruler whose thoughts transcend his worldly responsibilities, offering timeless wisdom that continues to resonate with audiences today.
