About this ebook

Discover the mystery of the world's moral government.

Present in every educated person’s library, The Consolation of Philosophy relates a dialogue between Boethius himself (during his imprisonment before his execution) and the spirit of philosophy personified as a lady answering his questions. This philosopher of the early 6th century explains that all things tend to the good, and also that things are by nature like what they desire. His love of rhetoric combined with his relentless philosophical search paved the way for his historic legacy—to this day.

This scholastic text is accessible to a wide audience.
