5.0 out of 5 stars For true fans of Aurelius, this is a must, 4 Oct 2001
By A Customer
With this edition, I now have eight different English translations of the Emperor's "diary." There's not much I can say about this version that I haven't already about the other seven.

For what it's worth, this is the most inspiring, through-provoking book I have ever come across, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who has wondered how a man who once held the highest seat of power in the world regarded topics like the meaning of life, the cause of anger and annoyance, and why it is important to remember your humanity in a world sadly lacking in humanity.

Scholars may feel otherwise, but I feel compelled to read as many translations as I can get, since I would rather not bother with learning classical Greek to read the original text.

Still, this is clearly one of the greatest works of philosophic thought available, by one of the leading proponents of the stoic school. And in light of recent events (the September terrorism in the U.S.), one should reflect carefully on the value of stoicism in one's life.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book by a chum of mine, 18 Oct 2003
By Chris Lawton (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Caesar; a name that could cause traffic jams. However, we are talking about a great man who recorded for posterity his inner most thoughts and his weaknesses. His legacy is his self doubt, self analysis and his belief in the enduring good of Mankind. Humble and realistic, this man was Emperor of Rome, take note Bush and Blair. I salute him.
