  • Overview

    ¿Cómo pudo el hombre más poderoso del mundo antiguo convertirse en el filósofo de la serenidad interior?

    Donald J. Robertson construye en esta biografía un retrato renovado del emperador romano Marco Aurelio, entretejiendo con destreza su fascinante viaje psicológico con los principales acontecimientos de su vida. Partiendo de las propias Meditaciones, de su correspondencia, de la Historia augusta y de otros textos antiguos, Robertson explora la formación intelectual del joven príncipe y la relación con figuras como su madre, Domicia Lucila, y el emperador Adriano, así como con sus maestros estoicos, poniendo de manifiesto el modo en que las enseñanzas de estos últimos moldearon el carácter del futuro emperador y su forma de ejercer el poder.

    Durante toda la vida, Marco Aurelio luchó por conciliar su filosofía y sus valores morales con los retos políticos a los que tuvo que enfrentarse en el apogeo del Imperio romano. A lo largo de estas páginas, el autor nos habla de su postura ante la esclavitud, del dilema moral que le planteaba capturar enemigos, de su actitud hacia las mujeres, de su respuesta a la amenaza de una guerra civil, del trato que dispensó a los cristianos bajo su gobierno o de la designación de su hijo Cómodo como sucesor. Lejos de la tradicional imagen granítica del gobernante imperturbable, emerge aquí la compleja figura de un hombre que hubo de enfrentarse a guerras, plagas, traiciones y dolorosas pérdidas personales, y que encontró en la filosofía no un adorno intelectual, sino un código de conducta para la vida.


    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


    How could the most powerful man in the ancient world become the philosopher of inner serenity?

    Experience the world of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and the tremendous challenges he faced and overcame with the help of Stoic philosophy

    “[Robertson] thoughtfully and readably capture[s] the essence of this great man and his great life. It’s a must read for any aspiring Stoic.” —Ryan Holiday, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Daily Stoic


    This novel biography brings Marcus Aurelius (121–180 CE) to life for a new generation of readers by exploring the emperor’s fascinating psychological journey. Donald J. Robertson examines Marcus’s relationships with key figures in his life, such as his mother, Domitia Lucilla, and the emperor Hadrian, as well as his Stoic tutors. He draws extensively on Marcus’s own Meditations and correspondence, and he examines the emperor’s actions as detailed in the Augustan History and other ancient texts.

    Marcus Aurelius struggled to reconcile his philosophy and moral values with the political pressures he faced as emperor at the height of Roman power. Robertson examines Marcus’s attitude toward slavery and the moral dilemma posed by capturing enemies in warfare; his attitude toward women; the role of Stoicism in shaping his response to the threat of civil war; the treatment of Christians under his rule; and the naming of his notorious son Commodus as his successor.

    Throughout, the Meditations is used to shed light on the mind of the emperor—his character, values, and motives—as Robertson skillfully weaves together Marcus’s inner journey as a philosopher with the outer events of his life as a Roman emperor.
