Beschreibung
Born in the late 5th century AD, Boethius was a Roman statesman and philosopher who would come into the service of the Ostrogothic ruler of Italy, Theodoric the Great. Ultimately he would rise to the position of magister officiorum, the head of all the government and court services. In 523 AD he would find himself accused of treasonous correspondence with Justin I, a charge that would land him in prison and ultimately lead to his execution. During Boethius's year-long imprisonment leading up to his execution he wrote "The Consolation of Philosophy," a work that would become regarded as one of the most important and influential works from medieval times. "The Consolation of Philosophy" is a classical exposition of human nature as Boethius reflects on the treacherous betrayal that led to his fall from favor with his lord. In it he ponders the universal question of Theodicy, or why a benevolent and all powerful God allows evil to manifest in the world, and on the transitory nature of fortune. Meant to provide himself with some solace in the face of his fated execution, Boethius' "The Consolation of Philosophy" is a work that has provided spiritual guidance to those in despair ever since its first appearance. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Über den Autor
Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius (477-524 AD) was a Roman senator, consul, magister officiorum, and philosopher of the early 6th century. Boethius entered public service under King Theodoric the Great, who later imprisoned and executed him in 524 on charges of conspiracy to overthrow him. While jailed, Boethius composed his Consolation of Philosophy, a philosophical treatise on fortune, death, and other issues, which became one of the most popular and influential works of the Middle Ages. As the author of numerous handbooks and translator of Aristotle, he became the main intermediary between Classical antiquity and following centuries. Boethius was recognized as a saint in 1883 and is considered a martyr for the Catholic faith by the Roman Martyrology. He is also venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
