Marc Aurele is a great man: he leaves to posterity the result of his reflections on the world and mankind. In good Stoic, he always places himself from the perspective of the philosophers of the Porch and text contitué in a beautiful presentation. However, repetitions abound and this translation is very dated. We prefer her recent anthology, well built and nicely turned, published by Editions Arabian Nights, whose Laure adler and Patrick Besson praised in the media.
