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.?

马可·奥勒留有两个身份,一个是斯多葛哲学的代表人物之一,另一个是罗马帝国的皇帝。作为前一个身份,他留下了传世大作<沉思录>;而作为后一个身份,他没能阻止罗马帝国走向衰落,当然,这并非他力所能及。 如同他在书中所带给大家的思想一样,斯多葛派主张顺应天命...

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...

To be a meditator
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。
评分这是皇帝的箴言录,不愧是希腊时代生人。芝诺的信徒、遵从斯多噶学派的古罗马皇帝之一。书中箴言,虽是谆谆善导的口述模式,略一读来有极具哲理的错觉,细读却难保不受批判:人生观与价值观上,宣扬的是虚无主义和宿命论,忽略一切主观能动,人只有在此刻活着,且一切的做为最终尽皆沦为尘土;世界观是理型化的,强调理性的重要性以及宇宙的和谐;宗教上是泛神的雏形,倾向于否定灵魂存在,上帝则是掌管一切自然和谐和转化的力量,认同德谟克利特的原子分子说,认同四元素说。总体是比较失望的一本,评星给他在自我体认上的诚恳及身份、时代的局限性
评分粗糙版的道德经而已
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
