every average joe can absolutely understand and take value from marcus aurelius, as well as epictetus and seneca. none of it is specific to being an emperor or even being a roman.
- rg111 3y agoI have read Meditations as a teenager and later in life when I was smarter, more mature, and responsible, and with some background in Philosophy, the book hit completely differently. I recognized many of my early interpretation as lacking depth or true understanding. And I see so many people not much different from their YA self. Not all people grow significantly. This leads me to believe that many people have an understanding of Meditations that is lacking.
