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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn excellent, near fine condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Folio Vault\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFolio Vault is an independent bookseller specialising in pre-owned Folio Society books.
