What is its use (if any)?" with experts from different fields (ancient philosophy, Buddhist philosophy, Indian philosophy, Islamic philosophy, wisdom literature, neuroscience and biology). Dr Bonasio is currently preparing a volume that collects the papers presented in the workshop and that will be published by De Gruyter.

Readers may not come to this Marcus Aurelius expecting such an awareness of his own imperfections and his struggle with anger especially. In embracing his self-awareness, we find the value of Meditations today. This Marcus Aurelius is a wise, flawed, and thoroughly human companion as we, with him, begin our journey towards a happier life once more.
