このコンテンツについて

Welcome to The Primary Texts, where we explore philosophy's foundational works completely and deeply. In this introduction to our Meditations series, we meet Marcus Aurelius - the Roman Emperor who never wanted to rule, writing desperate notes to himself by candlelight on the frozen Danube frontier.

Discover how the most powerful man on Earth used philosophy as survival tactics, wrestling with the same problems we face: procrastination, anger, anxiety, and meaninglessness. Learn why these private journals, never meant for publication, have survived 1,900 years and speak directly to modern struggles.

We'll explore Marcus's reluctant path to power, the crises that defined his reign (plague, war, personal tragedy), and how Stoic philosophy became his emergency medicine for the soul. This episode prepares you for the complete 13-episode journey through all twelve books of the Meditations.

The Primary Texts reads actual texts, not summaries. Philosophy as it was written, engaged with completely.
