I had a visit to the first big book fair in our small town. A friend of mine, Hossein, is a philosopher. He has the masters in western philosophy, and he has chosen this corner to live and kill the time. We have always argues and I always encourage him to continue his study abroad. I'll persuade him one day I know.
Anyway, he gifted me a book last night, Marcus Aurelius Meditations. Aurelius was the Roman emperor and philosopher (the one who died or was killed by his son in the beginning of Gladiator movie). This book is about his own "moral" issues he had experienced and gained during his life. The point of it is that, he writes about morality in his most powerful time and situation as the emperor. That's in contrast with Nietzsche's theory who says moarlity is an artifact of the weak!
I've just read the first of 12 chapters.
