The Stoic Mindset of an Emperor

- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2024
- Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, known today as the last of the Five Good Emperors, ruled Rome from 161 to 180 CE and was the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an time in Roman history marked by peace and stability. His rule is remembered not just for his political achievements but also for his profound impact on Stoic philosophy.
His reign was marked by immense challenges, including a devastating Antonine plague and the Marcomannic Wars. However, he focused on the well-being of his people, avoiding self-indulgent building projects, extravagant displays of wealth, and such abundance (something his son Comodus struggled with).
As the author of ‘Meditations’, one of the greatest surviving works of Stoic literature, Aurelius has become a figurehead of ancient philosophy, representing the Golden Age of the Roman Empire and a champion of the practical principles of Stoicism.
In this video, we go over some of the best quotes and teachings from Marcus Aurelius.

Marcus always kept that Memento Mori in the forefront. A true philosopher among the same sort of politicians we have today, what an accomplishment.
The last quote you included is one of my favorites. Stand erect 🚶
Loved reading meditation. Its like having conversation with this great man.
Memento mori Memento vivere!

Wise words from a very wise man

A little tangent as I am relatively new to the channel. Have you ever covered how to integrate Stoicism with your faith? In my case Christian faith. Didn't Marcus Aurelius believe in the "Gods" for example?
I think Stoicism and faith can coexist. What I mean by that is, Stoic philosophy is partly a set of tools to help us view the world more constructively and partly a set of ethical values which explain how we should behave. Neither of those things conflict with religion. In fact, Stoicism even helped to form early Christianity. I will think about making a video about it though, thanks for the question 👍
@@OrionPhilosophy Thanks sir! Im a 52 year old learning from a 32 year old... Keep it up!
Marcus Aurelius never encountered "cancel culture"
There's always been the shifting tides of reputation.
"Ill repute is a noise made by madmen." As true today as it was in Diogenes' day.
