马可·奥勒留(Marcus Aurelius,公元121—180年),著名的“帝王哲学家”,古罗马帝国皇帝,在希腊文学和拉丁文学、修辞、哲学、法律、绘画方面受过很好的教育,晚期斯多葛学派代表人物之一。奥勒留也许是西方历史上唯一的一位哲学家皇帝。他是一个比他的帝国更加完美的人,他的勤奋工作最终并没有能够挽救古罗马,但是他的《沉思录》却成为西方历史上的伟大名著。
马可·奥勒留是一个悲怆的人;在一系列必须加以抗拒的欲望里,他感到其中最具有吸引力的就是想要引退去过一种宁静的乡村生活的那种愿望。但是实现这种愿望的机会始终没有来临。
One measure, perhaps, of a book's worth, is its intergenerational pliancy: do new readers acquire it and interpret it afresh down through the ages? The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, translated and introduced by Gregory Hays, by that standard, is very worthwhile, indeed. Hays suggests that its most recent incarnation--as a self-help book--is not only valid, but may be close to the author's intent. The book, which Hays calls, fondly, a "haphazard set of notes," is indicative of the role of philosophy among the ancients in that it is "expected to provide a 'design for living.'" And it does, both aphoristically ("Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what's left and live it properly.") and rhetorically ("What is it in ourselves that we should prize?"). Whether these, and other entries ("Enough of this wretched, whining monkey life.") sound life-changing or like entries in a teenager's diary is up to the individual reader, as it should be. Hays's introduction, which sketches the life of Marcus Aurelius (emperor of Rome A.D. 161-180) as well as the basic tenets of stoicism, is accessible and jaunty. --H.

?The emperor Marcus Aurelius, the proverbial philosopher-king, produced in Greek a Roman manual of piety, the Meditations, whose impact has been felt for ages since. Here, for our age, is his great work presented in its entirety, strongly introduced and freshly, elegantly translated by Gregory Hays for the Modern Library.?

读《沉思录》是一种折磨,如一碗味道怪异的汤,在口腔内充塞之际,只觉胃内一阵阵的酸水泛出,却又不得不入喉,仿佛相声里御赐的“珍珠翡翠白玉汤”。试举一例:“没有一个人天性不可忍受的事情对那个人发生。同样的事情发生于另一个人,或是因为他没看到他们的发生,或是因为...
评分“在人的生活中,时间是瞬息即逝的一个点,实体处在流动之中,知觉是迟钝的,整个身体的结构容易分解,灵魂是一涡流,命运之谜不可解,名声并非根据明智的判断。一言以蔽之,属于身体的一切只是一道激流,属于灵魂的只是一个梦幻,生命是一场战争,一个过客的旅居,身后的名声...
评分第一次看到这本书是在高中,课外读本上的一部分选段。也许繁重的脑力耗费反而会带来心理的宁静。高三的时候什么艰涩的书都看得进去,现在想来觉得那时的自己让我骄傲。 我当时并不知道有些什么人读过这本书,现在我也不是很关心。其实现在也不会有一份心情来读。 但...
评分“我很烦躁,很烦躁。”最近老看到的这句话。 老Z说,我的体重经久不下,这不是心宽体胖,这叫做压力肥。 我对于这个新名词倒是没怎么去考究,大家都一笑而过了。而这压力背后,却总有一些让我感慨的东西。一个老师说过的一句话,始终记得。她说:“我这一辈子都在回首,读小...
评分其实你相信吗?认真的人注定寂寞,孤独的人要学会自我沟通。 很多时候,我可以宽容别人的不善,却无法原谅自己的恶,因此常常自省。 如果一个人对自己的道德水准有近乎狂热的完美追求,执着到近乎痛苦,这是清醒还是不悟? 读《沉思录》,仿佛在听一个男人的低声自语,一个男人...
In an unsecured world logos works for a greater plan,which is shit for now.Read in Blinkist.
评分一只产自罗马的intj型唐僧对人生的思辨过程,读的george long的英译,总体还是赞的
评分影帝在CNN访谈中说自己读这本书,感觉是对瘫瘫称帝不服啊
评分repetitive, tedious, didactic; unbearably pompous in his praise of rationality, control, and selflessness; even his metaphors are not creative/insightful...I don't understand why this could be called "introspection." admit that I might have agreed on certain points (especially from Book 9 on) but the style and central ideas really piss me off
评分古羅馬版的“吾日三省吾身”。Marcus Aurelius做為羅馬皇帝能如此謙卑又具有極高的自我覺悟令人欽佩。他感悟出的很多人生哲理在兩千年後的今天仍然適用,甚至可以說尤其必要。這是一本需要時不時拿出來重讀,用來審視自我的著作。
