Title: Proof positive
Product review: that morals come from reason. Experience has taught Marcus that the surface of things falsify the truth about those things, and that an even temper and a humble mind are the best companions in the quest for that which brings lasting satisfaction. Marcus thinks his way out of conundrums; we must admire someone so full of such consideration, yet belongs to early history. Interesting blend of polytheism, deism, Stoicism,atomism, and a bit of Cynicism. Eminently readable-Marcus assembles his thoughts into short paragraphs with no particular unifying theme that might determine the order, so you can start anywhere, and leave anywhere and get a compact bit o'wisdom from this troubled, dying Roman emperor. Broad enough to appeal to any thinker, it's a series of mental snapshots of all worthwhile philosophical thoughts up to 180 AD.
