Marcus Aurelius Ancient Roman History Books Editorial Review
The Penguin Classics edition of Meditations, translated by Gregory Hays, was well received by customers. The introduction by Hays is deemed helpful, providing context and insights into Aurelius' philosophical thinking. The Prose is Considered fluid and incisive, allowing the themes to come alive. Customers felt that periodic rereading would reward readers with insights and new angles. However, readers noted two significant tensions: (1) The intended audience of the book as personal spiritual exercises and its acquired status as a work for the ages, and (2) The contradiction between living in the present and being strategic while encouraging followers to engage and shape the world. While these tensions are never resolved, they give the Meditations a realistic, pragmatic feel. Readers felt that the bad press surrounding stoicism is undeserved, and the philosophical message contained in the book was generally positive and could make the world a more pleasant place if more people take notice. The text was from an ancient Greek manuscript with an antiquated style preserved.
