What do these texts have in common?   The Desiderata,  Meditations by Marcus Aurelius,  The Bhagavad Gita,  Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu? 


What do these texts have in common? 
 
The Desiderata 
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 
The Bhagavad Gita 
Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu

Why would Marcus Aurelius' "meditations," the desiderata, the Bhagavad Gita and the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu be considered wisdom books or wise?

 * Meditations by Marcus Aurelius:
   * Focus: Stoicism - Emphasizes virtue, reason, and living in accordance with nature.
   * Wisdom: Offers guidance on self-control, acceptance of fate, finding inner peace amidst external chaos, and living a virtuous life.
 * Desiderata:
   * Focus: Practical advice for living a happy and fulfilling life.
   * Wisdom: Provides timeless guidance on self-acceptance, kindness, pursuing your dreams, and finding peace within yourself.
 * Bhagavad Gita:
   * Focus: Hindu scripture, part of the epic Mahabharata.
   * Wisdom: Explores themes of duty, karma, detachment, and the nature of reality. Offers guidance on how to live a righteous life, fulfill one's purpose, and achieve liberation (moksha).
 * Tao Te Ching (by Lao Tzu):
   * Focus: Taoism - Emphasizes living in harmony with the natural order (Tao).
   * Wisdom: Offers insights into the interconnectedness of all things, the importance of simplicity, and the power of yielding to the flow of life.
Key reasons why these are considered wisdom books:
 * Timeless Relevance: The core principles and advice presented in these works remain relevant and applicable even centuries after they were written. They address fundamental human concerns and offer enduring guidance on how to live a meaningful life.
 * Focus on Inner Peace and Fulfillment: These books primarily focus on inner peace, self-awareness, and finding meaning in life. They offer tools and perspectives for navigating life's challenges and cultivating a sense of well-being.
 * Emphasis on Virtue and Ethical Living: They all, in their own ways, emphasize the importance of living a virtuous life, cultivating compassion, and treating others with kindness and respect.
 * Enduring Impact: These works have had a profound and lasting impact on countless individuals throughout history, inspiring generations to live more thoughtfully and meaningfully.
Note: While "Desiderata" is often included in discussions of wisdom literature, it's important to note that its origins are less certain compared to the other works.
I hope this helps!

Reason or Reasoning (re 'science' too but which emerged significantly much later in history)? - 

Roman Italian Antonius Marcus Aurelius (121-180) - and reason ?


What does Marcus Aurelius in meditation say about reason or thinking or reasoning faculty? 


Marcus Aurelius, in his Meditations, emphasizes the importance of reason and thinking as central to a virtuous and fulfilling life. Here are some key themes:

  • Reason as the Divine Spark: Aurelius viewed reason as a divine spark within each individual, connecting us to the universal order (logos). This reason allows us to understand our place in the cosmos and live in accordance with nature.
  • Reason as a Guide to Action: He believed that all actions should be guided by reason and logic. Emotions and impulses should be tempered by rational thought to ensure that our choices align with virtue and the greater good.
  • Reason as a Tool for Overcoming Suffering: Aurelius saw reason as a powerful tool for overcoming negative emotions like anger, fear, and grief. By rationally examining our circumstances, we can understand that much of our suffering is self-imposed and based on faulty judgments.
  • The Importance of Self-Reflection: He encouraged regular introspection and self-examination to ensure that our thoughts and actions are aligned with reason and virtue.

Key Passages:

  • "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." This emphasizes the importance of action over mere contemplation.
  • "Everything happens for a reason." This highlights the importance of understanding the underlying order of the universe, even in the face of adversity.

In essence, Marcus Aurelius saw reason as the cornerstone of a virtuous and fulfilling life. By cultivating reason and using it to guide our thoughts and actions, we can achieve inner peace, live in harmony with nature, and fulfill our potential as human beings.

Quaker ethics 

What are Quaker ethics religious Society of Friends ethics?

Quaker ethics, also known as the ethics of the Religious Society of Friends, are centered around several core principles often referred to as "testimonies." These testimonies guide Quakers in their daily lives and decision-making:
 * Integrity: Quakers strive for honesty and transparency in all their dealings. They believe in living authentically and consistently with their values.
 * Simplicity: This emphasizes living a life free from unnecessary possessions and distractions, allowing for a deeper connection to God and others.
 * Peace: Quakers are known for their pacifism, actively opposing violence and seeking non-violent solutions to conflict.
 * Equality: They believe in the inherent worth of all people, regardless of race, gender, religion, or social status.
 * Community: Quakers value strong community bonds and strive to live in a way that supports and uplifts others.
 * Stewardship: They believe in responsible care for the Earth and all its creatures.
These testimonies are not rigid rules but rather guiding principles that encourage personal reflection and action. Quakers believe that everyone possesses an "inner light" or direct connection to God, and that true guidance comes from listening to that inner voice.
Key characteristics of Quaker ethics:
 * Emphasis on personal experience: Quakers value individual spiritual experience and rely on their own conscience as a guide.
 * Focus on action: Quaker ethics are not just about belief; they emphasize living out one's values through service and social justice work.
 * Pacifism: Quakers have a long history of advocating for peace and opposing war and violence.
 * Social justice: They have been at the forefront of many social justice movements, including the abolition of slavery and the fight for women's rights.
It's important to note that Quakerism is a diverse faith with a variety of interpretations and practices. These testimonies provide a general framework, but individual Quakers may emphasize different aspects or apply them in unique ways.
