About the book

Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy was written while the author was imprisoned and awaiting execution in the sixth century. Presented as a dialogue between Boethius and the figure of Lady Philosophy, the work examines fortune, happiness, fate, free will and the nature of true good. Combining prose and poetry, it became one of the most influential philosophical texts of the Middle Ages.
