Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, books 1-6 @ MLK Jr. Memorial Library

You might have heard of the philosophy of Stoicism from social media, but do you want to find out what it's really about? If so, join us in June to discuss the first half of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations.

Marcus Aurelius was the emperor of Rome from 161–180 AD, and Meditations is a collection of his personal writings. It has been called one of the greatest works of philosophy of all time, and has influenced famous figures such as Frederick the Great, John Stuart Mill, Matthew Arnold, and Goethe. Feel free to read from whichever translation you prefer.

As usual, we will meet in the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in the 205-B Accessibility Room, located on the second floor at the back of the Center for Accessibility. The library should be available to those of you coming on the red/yellow/green lines via Gallery Place and those on the blue/silver/orange lines via Federal Triangle. See you there!
