OntoMeditations identifies and formalizes Meditations’ main conceptual themes, or macro-concepts, as well as their corresponding instances and formulations within the book, in its English-translated version made by A. S. L. Farquharson (Oxford University Press, 1989). It also identifies and formalizes its main sentiment polarity, between the positive “stoic calm” and the negative “stoic trouble”, here also with their corresponding instances and formulations within the book. Finally, it identifies two main “abstract figures”, men and god, as well as different “agent roles”, which consist of external agents most mentioned or referred to throughout the books, themselves formalized as “chapters” and “fragments”.
The ontology can be used to make this sentiment and linguistic/conceptual analysis of Marcus Aurelius’ writings applicable to other philosophical texts, notably Stoic ones. We expect the ontology to be a starting point to further developments in the field of computational literary analysis, notably the ones that are most concerned with the association of “objective” concepts to “subjective” sentiments.
