Alone with myself. Mark A.

Mark Aurelius is a representative of the late Stoicism and a follower of the epictate.

In his philosophical records, he paid the greatest attention to ethics, highlighting the remaining sections for propaedeutic purposes. If the former Stoics considered the soul the dominant principle, then Marcus Aurelius called the leading beginning the mind.

In his collection “Reflections”, he gives arguments in favor of the fact that it is necessary to bring the mind to the consent with the nature of the whole and to achieve impassivity due to this. Because in accordance with universal mind, happiness is concluded.
