The book that was never written with the intention of being published. A window to the mind of one of the great emperors of Rome and Stoic philosophy. Meditations by Marco Aurelio.

Y seguir apoyando el podcast 5 estrellas, compartiendo, apoyando el conocimiento y la cultura a través de los libros. Today I bring you this book that is difficult to categorize.
I have seen it in different libraries under the name of autobiography, self-help, personal overcoming. I have also seen it as a philosophy, I have also seen it as a story. It is complicated, it is more than that, it is all that and much more than that. I think it is a very good phrase from the Republic, the famous book of Plato. He writes, the ideal state or ideal government should be governed by a philosopher king. Someone who is a king and at the same time a philosopher. And Marco Aurelio is one of the few people in history who can really compete for this title. And I think that's the importance of this book. Because we're going to see a philosophy, in this case stoic, applied or examined from the point of view of someone at that political level.
Because today philosophy for us is... A subject that is taken in school, in university. But in the ancient world of Greece it was not like that. Philosophy was a lifestyle. The intellectual study, the academic study of philosophy was important and it was still being done. However, that alone was not enough. If someone did not practice the philosophical doctrines that they themselves taught, that they themselves discussed, then you were not considered a true philosopher. And Marco Aurelio... Por eso es que tiene este cuaderno, un cuaderno que era un diario personal. Él escribió esto para él mismo, porque él necesitaba todas estas enseñanzas, todas estas filosofías estoicas cercanas a él. Era una especie de afirmación para él.
Él leía esto a diario, las escribía para desahogarse, para recordar cómo aplicar la filosofía en el diario de manejar el gran imperio romano. Este libro de meditaciones, probablemente, quizás el diario de Anna Frank, esos son los dos libros, con mayor impacto social hoy en día que fueron escritos sin ningún tipo de intención de ser leídos. Ambos autores probablemente estarían asustados saber que millones de personas están leyendo sus momentos más íntimos o sus pensamientos más personales. ¿Qué es parte de la importancia, es parte del romanticismo de esta obra? Nos deja, nos permite ver un retrato muy increíble From a personality like Marco Aurelio, from his perspective, while he is the emperor of Rome.
This is very important. How many political leaders today do not write their autobiographies, either themselves or hire normally an author to write them. But that is with the intention of propaganda.
