Summary

"Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus" by David Widger is a compilation of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius' philosophical writings from the Common Era, featuring "Meditations" and "Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius." These works thoroughly discuss Stoic philosophy through personal reflections and discourses, emphasizing virtue, self-control, and the fleeting nature of life. The writings explore inner peace, the acceptance of death, and the interconnectedness of the universe, advocating for embracing destiny, acting virtuously, and striving for self-improvement. Aurelius’ meditative style promotes resilience, challenges readers to locate meaning in adversity, and inspires them to understand their place in the vastness of human existence.
