Synopsis
A conversational text that addresses many philosophical concepts as well as Western religion by questioning good versus evil and the unnecessary suffering of innocent people. Anicius Boethius draws from his own experiences to illustrate these spiritual and ethical struggles.
In The Consolation of Philosophy the author engages in a figurative discussion with Lady Philosophy, a type of teacher. Through their exchange, he poses serious questions regarding the existence of God and human nature. He also acknowledges his own dire circumstances, contemplating the hardships and trauma.

He also focuses on the importance of intangible gifts such as love and intelligence.

About the Author
Anicius Boethius (477–524) was a Roman philosopher who lived during the 5th and 6th centuries. Born into a family of politicians, Boethius was educated in Greek and had a love for literature and philosophy. He is often cited as an accomplished orator, senator and consul. Despite his years in public service, Boethius was accused of treason and eventually imprisoned. During confinement, he wrote his most notable work, The Consolation of Philosophy, which was completed before his execution in 524.
From the Back Cover
The Consolation of Philosophy by Anicius Boethius was greatly influenced by his personal troubles with the Roman government. While awaiting trial for treason, he wrote this exploration of philosophy as it relates to God, fate and free will. It’s an enlightening account that details thought-provoking questions leading to introspective answers.
