Stoisk-romersk klassiker, forfattet af kejser Markus Aurelius mellem slagene, hvor han tog sig tid til at tænke sig om - dog ikke om-igen: han fortsatte sine krige, men bevarede en tro på stoiske ro - uforstyrrethed, skæbneaccept, tålmodighed som etisk klangbund. Hans livsbetragtninger hed tidligere 'Tanker til sig selv' eller blot 'Optegnelser', men den danske oversættelse ved filologen J.A. Bundgård (1949) fik ved genudgivelsen i 1996 - gennemset, lettere revideret og forsynet med forord af Villy Sørensen - titlen 'Meditationer', svarende til de engelske udgaver. Siden 2020 genoptrykt adskillige gange, idet forlaget har lagt sig følgende Aurelius-ord på sinde: "Ingen bliver nogensinde træt af at blive gavnet. Det gavner én selv at handle efter naturen. Bliv da ikke træt af at nyde gavn af det. hvormed du yder gavn." (s. 80) - Vupti!

Marcus Aurelius var kendt som filosoffen på kejsertronen, da han skrev en lang række stoiske aforismer på græsk under sine mange felttog. Aforismerne er samlet i værket Ta eis heauton (Tanker til sig selv). Hans filosofi er præget af en beskeden og værdig holdning til livets tilskikkelser. En del af hans tanker ligner kristendommens, som han i øvrigt bekæmpede. Lighederne skyldes, at også kristendommens var påvirket af stoicismen.Marcus Aurelius' her foreliggende "Betragtninger" indeholder alle 12 bøger i L. C. Hansteens klassiske oversættelse med moderniseret retskrivning.Tidligere er udsendt Marcs Aurelius'"Tanker til sig selv", i et kommenteret udvalg ved K. G. Brøndsted.

Marcus Aurelius var kendt som filosoffen på kejsertronen, eftersom han under sine felttog skrev en række stoiske læresætninger på græsk, som han lod samle i værket TANKER TIL SIG SELV (Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν). Det er ikke sikkert, at aforismerne har været skrevet med henblik på udgivelse. Meditationer er således en anden af de titler, hvormed værket ofte omtales. Marcus Aurelius' tanker er opdelt i tolv bøger, som omhandler de forskellige perioder i hans liv. Tonen er ligefrem og umiddelbar og uden sproglig pynt. Hver bog er skrevet, som den gav mening for ham selv, i stedet for at være en kronologisk fremstilling. Læresætningerne varierer i længde fra enkelte sætninger til hele afsnit. Marcus Aurelius' filosofi er præget af en beskeden og værdig holdning til livet. Den er tænkt som en kilde til forbedring og ledelse. En del af hans tanker ligner kristendommen, som han bekæmpede. Lighederne skyldes, at den var påvirket af stoicismen.Marcus Aurelius, født Marcus Annius Verus (121–180 e.kr.), var romersk kejser fra 161-180 e.kr. og stoisk filosof. Han var søn af en embedsmand i provinsen Hispania (Spanien) og gjorde sig tidligt bemærket ved sine religiøse og filosofiske interesser. Som ganske ung blev han adopteret af den senere kejser Antoninus Pius på anbefaling af kejser Hadrian. Fra 146 var han adoptivfaderens medregent, og han overtog tronen efter dennes død. Marcus Aurelius regerede formelt sammen med sin adoptivbroder Lucius Verus frem til 169.

"Meditations is a collection of twelve books written by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The books were originally compiled in the form of private journals. Marcus Aurelius used these notes as personal guides to live by and to better himself as a ruler. He compiled these journals during his time as emperor, and while they were not intended for public consumption, there are valuable lessons to be gleaned from his wisdom. The entries include his views of Stoicism, the Hellenistic philosophy devoid of destructive emotions that could tamper with logic and its practical use in ruling and military tactics."--Page 4 of cover

Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy.Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron) and the second book was written at Carnuntum.
