  • Summary

  • Written almost 2,000 years ago, Meditations is a collection of the private notes of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. While the author likely never intended his notes to be published, the collection has nevertheless become a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy literature and is still widely read today. In this episode, Bird and Greg discuss the work, covering topics including a brief overview of the author and stoicism generally, the nature of responsibility with respect to one's own inner well-being, the power of external factors over one's mental health, equating what is natural to what is good, the value and limitations of reason, tragedy and comedy, impersonal communication on the internet, evil as ignorance, forgiveness, and more.
