Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marcus Aurelius: A Biography Told as Much as May Be by Letters, Together With Some Account of the Stoic Religion and an Exposition of the Roman Government´s Attempt to Suppress Christianity During Marcus´s Reign In this little book my purpose is to provide those people for whom the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius contain a deep religious meaning, with such introductory information about him, his character, his religion, and his life, as I think, judging from my own experience, they may desire. So I begin with an exposition of Stoic philosophy, and, as I believe that philosophy to have been primarily a religion, I present it as such. And in my defence to sundry criticisms made upon Marcus by ancient and modern writers, I give by far the most space to the gravest, that he persecuted the Christians, for I think no accusation would have surprised him more, or have seemed to him more unreasonable. I have not wished to encumber the pages with notes, and therefore I have relegated to the appendix most references to my authority for statements in the text. Such quotations in a foreign language as have not been translated in the text will be found translated in the appendix. Greek phrases that occur in the letters I have rendered in French.
