Las sabias Meditaciones del emperador filósofo Marco Aurelio, fruto de su serena filosofía estoica, han tenido un gran impacto en el pensamiento occidental e influyeron hondamente en la configuración de la moral cristiana y en el humanismo.

Marco Aurelio"El Sabio"(121-180) nace en Roma aunque sus antepasados procedían de una familia noble española. Hacia el año 161 sube al trono como emperador del Imperio Romano. En este difícil período de su vida debido a las guerras externas que, por sublevacion, mantuvo, escribio en griego su unico libro titulado"Pensamientos"(o"Meditaciones") hacia el año 170. Marco Aurelio representa el esplendor del estoicismo romano. El autor utiliza las maximas, la sentencias breves y las reflexiones para exponer los mas diversos temas estoicos; desde su vision cosmologica y panteista del Universo, hasta su preocupacion por la vida moral y etica del hombre. Sorprende el caracter efimero y pasajero que, de la vida, el nos propone y su preocupacion por la vida interior del hombre.

"Put an end once for all to this discussion of what a good man should be, and be one.""Let opinion be taken away, and no man will think himself wronged. If no man shall think himself wronged, then is there no more any such thing as wrong." Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. He wrote the 12 books of the Meditations as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. A central theme to Meditations is the importance of analyzing ones judgment of self and others and the development of a cosmic perspective. Marcus Aurelius (121 180) was Roman emperor from 161 to 180, ruling jointly with Lucius Verus until Verus death in 169 and jointly with his son, Commodus, from 177. He was the last of the so-called Five Good Emperors. He was a practitioner of Stoicism.

Descendiente de una familia de origen hispánico, Marco Aurelio nació en Roma en el año 121 de nuestra era y, tras ser adoptado por Antonio Pío, lo sucedió como emperador, ocupando el cargo desde el año 161 hasta su muerte en 180. Su reinado estuvo marcado por las numerosas y dilatadas guerras que mantuvo contra los pueblos que habitaban en los limites del Imperio. Sin embargo, su devocion por las letras fue notoria y Marco Aurelio dedico muchas horas al estudio de la filosofia.

"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."Meditations is a series of personal reflections by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor 161180 CE, written over a series of years in far-flung places as he led the Romans in military campaigns, quashed revolts, and dealt with the other tribulations of governing the Empire. It is best described as a spiritual journal, containing a record of the emperors philosophical exercises. Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. The writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs. He covers topics as diverse as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods, and his own emotions, spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation. Aurelius also sets forth his ideas on Stoic philosophy. The influence Meditations has had over centuries of thought is immeasurable. This "unendingly moving and inspiring" work is often cited alongside Jean Jacques Rousseaus Confessions and St. Augustines Confessions in discussions of the most profoundly spiritual works outside of the Bible. Recently, former U.S. President Bill Clinton called Meditations his favorite book.
