罗宾·哈德编译的《沉思录(英文版)》是古罗马皇帝玛克斯·奥勒留写给自己的书，内容大部分是他在鞍马劳顿中写成的。作品来自奥勒留对身羁宫廷的自己和自己所处混乱世界的感受，追求一种冷静而达观的生活。书中，奥勒留考察了自然与社会的关系、宇宙与人生的关系、理性与欲望的关系、自我与他人的关系，剖析了他本人独特的内心世界。《沉思录(英文版)》是斯多葛学派的一个里程碑。

玛克斯·奥勒留著罗宾·哈德编译的《沉思录(英文版)》讲述了：The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) is a private notebook ofphilosophical reflections, written by a Roman emperor probably on militarycampaign in Germany. In short, highly charged comments, Marcus draws onStoic philosophy to confront challenges that he felt acutely, but which are alsoshared by all' human beings-the looming presence of death, making sense ofone's social role and projects, the moral significance of the universe.
