Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121-180), the Roman emperor whose personal writings became a philosophical revelation for his descendants, who nicknamed him "the philosopher on the throne," was forced to spend his life on military campaigns. His "Meditations" ("Alone with Myself") were born in the 70's of the second century A.D. in a campaign tent. "Life is a struggle and wandering in a foreign land. But what can lead the way? Nothing but philosophy. "Death has nothing to do with us
when we exist, it doesn't exist, and when it exists, we don't exist." A shrewd observer, endowed with rare intuition, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus preached humility and asceticism. In this, his ethical views, ideas about the mind and soul, were close to the teachers of the Church and influenced Christian thinkers from Blessed Jerome to Leo Tolstoy.
