ABOUT THE BOOK:- This 1742 translation is a collaborative work by Francis Hutcheson and a colleague at Glasgow University, the classicist James Moor. Although Hutcheson was secretive about the extent of his work on the book, he was clearly the leading spirit of the project. This influential classical work offers a vision of a universe governed by a natural law that obliges us to love mankind and to govern our lives in accordance with the natural order of things. In their account of the life of the emperor, prefaced to their translation from the Greek, Hutcheson and Moor celebrated the Stoic ideal of an orderly universe governed by a benevolent God. They contrasted the serenity recommended and practiced by Marcus Aurelius with the divisive sectarianism. In many ways, Hutcheson and Moor's The Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus is a companion volume to Hutcheson's Latin work on ethics, released in the same year, Philosophiae Moralis Institutio Compendiaria. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Francis Hutcheson (8 August 1694 – 8 August 1746) was an Irish philosopher born in Ulster to a family of Scottish Presbyterians who became known as one of the founding fathers of the Scottish Enlightenment. After schooling in Ireland, he attended the University of Glasgow, where he studied philosophy, classics and general literature, before specialising in theology. While in Dublin, Hutcheson published a series of highly influential essays in 1725.Hutcheson's publications over this period cover metaphysics, logic and ethics.In 1729, Hutcheson became the Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Glasgow, a post he would hold until his death in 1746. James Moor or Moore (c 1712-1779), born in Glasgow, was the son of a Mathematics teacher. He matriculated to study at the University in 1725 and became a protégé of the Professor of Moral Philosophy, Francis Hutcheson. He was a graduate of the University who became librarian and subsequently, Professor of Greek.
