Why didn't Marcus Aurelius write about Hadrian in his Meditations?
Hadrian is the emperor who recognized the promise in young Marcus and set about the succession plan that had Marcus ascend to the throne. Yet when Marcus is giving thanks to everyone in the first book of his Meditations, Hadrian is conspicuously absent. Why do you think that is?

Maybe the Emperor Marcus aurelius thought being an Emperor was a duty or command from Emperor Hadrian

Hello! Welcome to the Practical Philosophy Community! The goal of this community is to help philosophers and deep thinkers gain confidence and become better leaders by using philosophy to “know thyself.” Start by checking out these links - Build Your Own Practical Philosophy community - Learn the Foundations of Stoicism - Read the 10 Immutable Laws of the Universe Book To kick things off, please comment below introducing yourself.

If you're looking to start your own, please use this affiliate link to that. It won't cost you any extra, but instead of all your money going to Sam Ovens and Alex Hormozi, half will go to them and half will go to me, which helps fund Project Stoic content!

Greetings My name is Lamees , you can call me by my Roman name Lucillè . After being disappointed with religions , I adopted science and naturalism philosophy, but science alone couldn't solve my personal issues and how to interact in difficult situations .spend several years of my life being irreligious with no map, till I found the map that managed my life and it was Stoicism. as of right now I am adding little Epicureanism in my Stoicism . if we focused on science to know what is he meaning of life , we can only observe that species undergo the process of evolution for surviving . the key is " surviving " but how to live this life ? therefore the four cardinal Virtues was my map .I adored the three pillars in Stoicism ( logics , ethics , physics ) the path to Eudaimonia , we can add free from pain by the moderation virtue.
