The Inner Citadel, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius by Pierre Hadot

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius are treasured today—as they have been over the centuries—as an inexhaustible source of wisdom. And as one of the three most important expressions of Stoicism, this is an essential text for everyone interested in ancient religion and philosophy. Pierre Hadot, eminent historian of ancient thought, here uncovers new levels of meaning in the Roman emperor's Meditations and expands our understanding of its underlying philosophy. This spirited and engaging study offers a fresh picture of the fascinating philosopher-emperor, a fuller understanding of the tradition and doctrines of Stoicism, and rich insight into the culture of the Roman empire in the second century.

"[Marcus Aurelius] spent most of his life in troubling times, campaigning against the barbarians, dealing with conspiracy at home ...Yet the most powerful man in the world still managed to live the life of a Stoic, and to record his reflections on how we should live. Those meditations... became one of the best-loved books of antiquity... This study by a leading authority on Marcus—provides background matter and analysis of the main themes in the Meditations, as well as fresh translations of many of the sayings."

- Washington Post Book World

"What emerges from reading Pierre Hadot's recent reflections on the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius is the debt some of our best-known thinkers (Montaigne and Nietzsche, among others) owe to Marcus Aurelius. This is the kind of book that can grab your attention and hurl you through several hundred pages, ever curious to read on... Hadot (one of the most celebrated living intellectuals in Europe) uncovers] new levels of meaning in this classic of Stoic thought."
