The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius: Selections Annotated and Explained Russell McNeil, PhD Editor, Malaspina Great Books In 1862 the English literary critic and poet Matthew Arnold described Marcus Aurelius as "the most beautiful figure in history." The Stoicism of Aurelius is grounded in rationality and rests solidly on an ethical approach rooted in nature. Stoicism promises real happiness and joy in this life and a serenity that can never be soured by personal misfortune. This philosophy has universal appeal with practical implications on problems ranging from climate change and terrorism to the personal management of sickness, aging, depression and addiction. I truly believe that the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius has much to offer us now...(Click on book cover for more)

Biography, Lectures, and Research Links:	Biography Blog Thomas Naogeorgus SEARCH NOW: by title by author Naogeorgus (Kirchmeyer), 1511-63, was born at Straubingen, Germany. Irrational and violent hatred seems to have ruled most of his life and work. He studied at Tubingen and in 1536 took the pastorate of Sulza in Th|ringen. He was a strong Lutheran at first, as is seen in Pammachius, but latter quarrelled with Luther and Melanchthon over the doctrine of election. In 1544 he became an adviser to Johan Friedrich, Elector of Saxony. When an inquiry opened in 1544 about his alleged heresy, he moved around and by 1549 was in Switzerland. He wrote the Boke of Spiritual Husbandry, afterwards famous in England. It was a theological interpretation of Virgil's Georgics: hence Naogeorgus. Other works followed: plays and the massive Papal Realm, which attacked with hatred the ceremonials and life of "the Roman Babylon." He returned to Germany and again was forced to move around.

About this Database:

This web page is part of a biographical database on Great Ideas. These are living ideas that have shaped, defined and directed world culture for over 2,500 years. By definition the Great Ideas are radical. As such they are sometimes misread, or distorted by popular simplifications. Understanding a Great Idea demands personal engagement. Our selection of Great Ideas is drawn from literature and philosophy, science, art, music, theatre, and cinema. We also include biographies of pivotal historical and religious figures, as well as contributions from women and other historically under-represented minorities. The result is an integrated multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary database built upon the framework of the always controversial Great Books Core List published in 1940 by the late Great Books Pioneer Mortimer Adler (1902-2001). Most of the works on that list are available in the 60 volume Great Books of the Western World.
