This new work draws from Marcus Aureliusone of the last great pre-Christian voices of classical Western philosophy and spiritualitythe essential threads of his thinking in the "Meditations" weaving them into a more contemporary and coherent form. Recasting a meeting that actually took place between Marcus and four other historical figures of classical antiquity, the book's situational stage allows Marcus to discuss and defend his beliefs with a clarity not found in the" Meditations."
