About this audiobook
How can we act well when events refuse to follow our plans? This critical introduction to Marcus Aurelius and the Meditations explores Stoic virtue, impressions, judgment, anger, duty, mortality, and the alternatives of providence and atoms. Original situations test the difference between accepting a fact and approving an injustice. Eighteen chapters also examine the Roman emperor's power, warfare, slavery, and the evidence concerning persecution of Christians. With a glossary and source map, the book offers a responsible reading of ancient Stoicism without promising that composure guarantees success.
