Meditations
Featured Listen
Meditations, written by a Roman Emperor in the 2nd century CE, is one of the most influential works of Stoic philosophy. Originally composed as personal notes and reflections, this collection of writings offers profound insights into ethics, spirituality, and living a meaningful life. Though never intended for publication, Meditations has become a timeless philosophical classic.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.
