Synopsis

Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy is a philosophical treatise written by the Roman philosopher and statesman Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius in the 6th century AD. The book is a dialogue between Boethius and Lady Philosophy, who appears to him in his prison cell where he is awaiting execution. The dialogue explores the nature of happiness, the problem of evil, the relationship between free will and divine foreknowledge, and the nature of reality. Lady Philosophy offers Boethius a way to find consolation in the midst of his suffering and to understand the workings of the world.
