Descrizione

About The Book: "The Consolation of Philosophy," written by Boethius during his imprisonment in AD 523, is a philosophical work reflecting on the coexistence of evil in a world governed by God and the attainability of happiness amidst unpredictable fortune. Boethius engages in a conversation with Philosophy, personified as a female, who consoles him by emphasizing the transient nature of fame and wealth and the supremacy of intellectual pursuits as the "one true good." Philosophy advocates that true happiness comes from within and remains unaffected by external circumstances. Boethius delves into topics like predestination, free will, the problem of evil, human nature, virtue, and justice. The work had a significant influence on late antiquity, Medieval, and early Renaissance Christianity.
