Extractions: The expression artes liberales , chiefly used during the Middle Ages, does not mean arts as we understand the word at this present day, but those branches of knowledge which were taught in the schools of that time. They are called liberal (Lat. liber, free), because they serve the purpose of training the free man, in contrast with the artes illiberales It is desirable, for several reasons, to treat the system of the seven liberal arts from this point of view, and this we propose to do in the present article. The subject possesses a special interest for the historian, because an evolution, extending through more than two thousand years and still in active operation, here challenges our attention as surpassing both in its duration and its local ramifications all other phases of pedagogy. But it is equally instructive for the philosopher because thinkers like Pythagoras Plato , and St.

Extractions: "Another cause of your sickness, and the most important: you have forgotten what you are." "If you want to see the truth in clear light, and follow the right road, you must cast off all joy and fear." "The prudent, steady man who wants a lasting place, immune from blasting winds and dangerous waves, should avoid high mountain peaks and the shore's shifting sands." "The man who recklessly strives for glory and counts it his highest goal should consider the far-reaching shores of heaven and the narrow confines of earth." "Death equalizes the high and the low." "In spite of its hazy memory, the human soul seeks to return to its true good; but, like the drunken man who cannot find his way home, the soul no longer knows what its good is."

Extractions: Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius (Boh-EE-tee-us) was born in about 475 and died in about 524. He appears on some calendars as Severinus, on 23 October. To avoid conflict with the feast of James of Jerusalem , I have moved him to the 22nd. Anicius is not his forename (like Marcus or Gaius or Publius), but his clan name. His forename (which I do not know) is frequently omitted, just as Gaius Julius Caesar is often called simply Julius Caesar. Gaius is his forename, or praenomen (chosen by his father), Julius is his nomen, the name of his clan (gens), and Caesar (his cognomen) is the name of his family within the clan. Other names are added for various reasons, or simply to reduce confusion with others having the same nomen and cognomen. Thus, in the name Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, the "Africanus" is an agnomen ("accomplishment name"), indicating that this is the General Who Conquered Africa. Background In 476 Odoacer, an Ostrogothic general, deposed the Emperor Romulus Augustus and took the throne for himself. (This date is traditionally given as the Fall of the Roman Empire.) In 493 Odoacer was replaced by Theodoric, another Ostrogoth, who was recognized as Emperor of the West by the Emperor at Byzantium (whose daughter then married Theodoric). The Goths at that time were Arians. (That is, they honored Jesus as the Incarnate Word, and honored the Word as the first creation of God, but not as co-eternal with the Father. The Watchtower Society, also called J-'s Witnesses, are the best-known Arian group today.) Theodoric did not seek to impose Arianism on his subjects, and kept the traditional forms of government, including many Romans along with Goths among his advisors. His reign was a time of peace and prosperity, his decisions were usually just, and his subjects had little to complain of.

Extractions: Written by the imprisoned Boethius while awaiting trial and execution. It is in the genre of Menippean Satire, with a regular alternation of prose and verse sections. The dialogue between two characters, an idealized "Boethius" and Philosophy, follows classical models.

boethius (480526). Not only was boethius an academic, he was far andaway the most educated man in the world at the time he lived.
http://www.geocities.com/charles_glenn/boethius.htm

Extractions: Boethius (480-526) Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius stands alone among my personal influences as the only one, with the possible exceptions of Aquinas and Augustine, who was a scholar in the traditional sense an educated academic. Not only was Boethius an academic, he was far and away the most educated man in the world at the time he lived. In fact, he was the most educated man the world had seen in the hundred years preceeding his birth, and for another hundred years after his death, as well. He was the last "Roman" scholar, in a sense, and his career spanned the fall of the Western Empire. Boethius came from an ancient and noble Roman family, and eventually rose to the rank of Consul the highest rank available next to the throne itself before he was imprisoned, tortured and executed under the orders of the barbarian Emperor Theoderic. He was accused of treason for his participation in solving a dispute with the Church in Constantinople over the Arian controversy (Theoderic was an Ostrogoth, and therefore an Arian, while Boethius remained an orthodox Christian until his death). The central goal of his life was to translate the entire collected writings of both Plato and Aristotle, and to prove his contention that the two great philosophers were not at odds, as is commonly thought. He was unable to ever make an effective case for that, and in fact, was unable to complete his monumental translation project before his death. Only a few pieces of his work remain extant, althouth they are still considered some of the best ever written. In many ways, Boethius can be credited for saving civilization itself, because hundreds of years later, Boethius' translations of Aristotle and Porphyry were the only link to the ancient world. Without his work, the medieval world would never have known who they were.

Extractions: Quickly rising to the top of the Roman political establishment, he became a wildly successful politician, as was his father. Becoming consul in 510 during the Gothic occupation of Rome, and later chief minister to the ruler Theodoric, who had invaded Rome in 489 and assumed the title of emperor in 493. However, Boethius became caught in a conflict concerning the unification of the Roman and the Eastern churches. He was, from all we know, acting in perfectly good faith regarding the attempts to negotiate with the Eastern Church. Yet, in the year 523 he was accused, tried and convicted of treason and sacrilege by Emperor Theoderic. Tortured mercilessly for months, after a year in prison at Pavia, he was executed in the cruelest possible manner.

Extractions: Writer Italy Born into an aristocratic Christian family but orphaned early, Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius became a consul and advisor to Theodoric , Ostrogothic King of Italy. He wrote texts on mathematics and translated works by Aristotle into Latin, which would be some of the only ancient learning medieval scholars would be able to access for centuries. He fell out of favor and was imprisoned by Theodoric, during which time he wrote the Consolatio Philosophiae (the Consolation of Philosophy ), which became extremely influential to medieval philosophy.
