Meditations — Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
From my grandfather Verus I learned to be gentle and meek, and to refrain from all anger and passion. From the reputation and remembrance of my father, modesty and a manly character. From my mother, piety and beneficence, and abstinence not only from evil deeds, but even from evil thoughts; and further, simplicity in my way of living, far removed from the habits of the rich.
From my great-grandfather, not to have frequented public schools, and to have had good teachers at home, and to know that on such things a man should spend liberally.
From my governor, to be neither of the green nor of the blue party at the games in the Circus, nor a partizan either of the Parmularius or the Scutarius at the gladiators' fights; from him too I learned endurance of labour, and to want little, and to work with my own hands, and not to meddle with other people's affairs.

Of course, science today cannot boast of having fully deciphered every secret of the human psyche. Many unsolved problems still remain unresolved. The main one among them is that neurobiologists cannot yet even theoretically imagine how a perceiving subject-the "I"-can be constructed from individual neurons and synapses.
But the trend is obvious: one by one, the most important aspects of the human personality, considered until very recently out of reach for the natural sciences (for example, memory, emotions, and even morality), are confidently moving into the material sphere, revealing their physiological, cellular, biochemical nature and evolutionary roots.
Конечно, наука и сегодня не может похвастаться полной расшифровкой всех тайн человеческой психики. Нерешённых проблем ещё много. Главная из них в том, что нейробиологи не могут пока даже теоретически себе представить, как из нейронов и синапсов может быть сделан воспринимающий субъект — «я».
Но тенденция налицо: один за другим важнейшие аспекты человеческой личности, до самого последнего времени считавшиеся недосягаемыми для естественных наук, уверенно переносятся в сферу материального, раскрывают свою физиологическую, клеточную, биохимическую природу и эволюционные корни.
