This new work draws from Marcus Aurelius—one of the last great pre-Christian voices of classical Western philosophy and spirituality—the essential threads of his thinking in the Meditations weaving them into a more contemporary and coherent form. Recasting a meeting that actually took place between Marcus and four other historical figures of classical antiquity, the book's situational stage allows Marcus to discuss and defend his beliefs with a clarity not found in the Meditations.
