Extractions: Pronunciation Key Boethius Boetius [b O E u s] , or Boece [b O E (Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius), c. 475 , Roman philosopher and statesman. An honored figure in the public life of Rome, where he was consul in 510, he became the able minister of the Emperor Theodoric. Late in Theodoric's reign false charges of treason were brought against Boethius; after imprisonment in Pavia, he was sentenced without trial and put to death. While in prison he wrote his greatest work, De consolatione philosophiae (tr. The Consolation of Philosophy, 1943). His treatise on ancient music, De musica, was for a thousand years the unquestioned authority on music in the West. One of the last ancient Neoplatonists, Boethius translated some of the writings of Aristotle and made commentaries on them. His works served to transmit Greek philosophy to the early centuries of the Middle Ages. See H. F. Stewart

The main character in the book is named "Boethius". "Boethius" the character had been a rich and powerful Roman senator, falsely accused of treason. Now he is in prison, tortured daily. He has lost everything. This book can be hard to discuss because "Boethius" is also the name of the author of the book, and the real Boethius had also been a rich and powerful Roman senator, falsely accused of treason, imprisoned, and tortured. In other words, there is a sense in which the real Boethius wrote this book about himself he made himself into a character in his book. So the background of the story is, to some degree, true. Yet the book itself is not supposed to be an historical chronicle of what actually happened.

The Consolation of Philosophy by boethius, the sixthcentury Roman philosopher, poet,and statesman who reconciled himself with the seeming unfairness of life
http://beowulf.engl.uky.edu/~kiernan/eBoethius/inlad.htm

Extractions: The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, the sixth-century Roman philosopher, poet, and statesman who reconciled himself with the seeming unfairness of life while awaiting execution on false charges of treason, was a powerful text throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It was especially respected in England, where it was repeatedly translated into English, starting with none other than Alfred the Great in the ninth century, and including (among others) Geoffrey Chaucer in the fourteenth century, and even Queen Elizabeth in the sixteenth. It is not an exaggeration to claim, as many scholars have done, that one cannot understand much of the literature of the Middle Ages without a knowledge of the Consolation Alfred the Great chose the text as one of the cornerstones of his educational reform, which entailed the translation of important Latin texts into the native language of his realm. His translation is not word for word, and often not even sense for sense, because his motivation was not a mere academic exercise, an opportunity to brush up his Latin. For Alfred the Consolation was a way to help his secular and spiritual leaders contemplate the most enduring intellectual issues - the problem of evil in a world made and governed by God, the apparent contradictions of man's free will and God's foreknowledge, the role of Fortune in the fall of good and the rise of wicked men.

http://www.orbilat.com/Encyclopaedia/B/Boethius.html

Extractions: A patrician by birth, Boethius was consul in 510 during the Gothic occupation of Rome under Theodoric , to whom he became chief minister. His championing of Roman traditions and institutions earned Theoderic's displeasure, and Boethius was imprisoned, tortured, and eventually executed. His translations of Aristotle and treatises on music and mathematics were standard texts in medieval Europe but his most famous work is The Consolation of Philosophy , written while he was in prison. A dialogue between the author and the personification of philosophy, the Consolation seeks to prove that virtue alone remains constant and the knowledge of God is the only true wisdom.

http://www.wkap.nl/prod/b/1-4020-0993-3

Extractions: The essays in this book give the first comprehensive picture of the medieval development of philosophical theories concerning the nature of emotions and the influence they have on human choice. The historical span reaches from the late ancient to the early modern philosophy, showing in detail how old and new ideas were bred and brought into the Middle Ages, and how they resulted in a genuinely modern perspective in the thought of Descartes. The essays are original contributions by a mixture of established senior scholars and promising young researchers writing on their own specialties. Since the essays look at the medieval theories of the emotions and the will with full awareness of contemporary philosophy of mind, they open up a whole new perspective on medieval philosophy.

Extractions: Next: Allegorical Uses of Orpheus Up: The Historical Path of Previous: Ovid The third major source from which the myth of Orpheus comes down to the middle ages from is Book 3, Metrum 12 of Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy . Boethius was a late pagan philosopher who lived from circa 480 to 524 AD . Not only did Boethius relate the story, but he also interpreted it. This interpretation was very influential over the way the story was received in the middle ages due particularly to the overall popularity of Boethius. His Consolation of Philosophy was a very popular work as is demonstrated by the overwhelming number of manuscripts of it that survive - more than four hundred. A major reason for this popularity was that Boethius was on the list of the great authors that were taught in schools, along with writers such as Ovid, Virgil, Homer, Horace, Cato and Cicero. Thus it would be widely known and thought of in connection with the classical sources. Boethius interprets it as a warning to not let the powers of passion overcome the intelligence, or as Friedman puts it, ``the distinction between worldly and spiritual desires.''
Notes And Questions For Boethius, The Consolation Of Philosophy
Notes and Questions for boethius (475525), The Consolation of Philosophy (524). TheConsolation was written while boethius was in prison awaiting execution.
http://www.virtualsalt.com/lit/boethius.htm

Extractions: January 11, 1999 Overview The Consolation was written while Boethius was in prison awaiting execution. The work is cast in the form of a dialog with Philosophy, who explains to him the true nature of happiness, why the wicked appear to prosper while the good suffer, and many other difficulties. By the end, Boethius sees clearly the goodness and sovereignty of God. (Section numbers follow those in Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy , New York: Penguin, 1969.) Things to Think About as You Read 1. Boethius constructs a harmony between classical and Christian ideas about God and human nature, showing in part the unity of truth and philosophy (classical and Christian wisdom being so similar) and in part the support that classical philosophers provide for Christian truth. 2. Similarly, Boethius carefully bases his argument on reason rather than Christian revelation, to show first how reasonable a base Christianity ultimately rests upon and second to show that there are rational, intellectually satisfying answers to the sufferings of the human condition. (Perhaps this work could be considered as "pre-evangelism" for intellectuals.) 3. Boethius relies substantially on Platonic and Neoplatonic thought. If you are familiar with the ideas of Plato, look for echoes here.

Extractions: Roman Theologian Boethius was born into a aristocratic Christian family in Rome and became consul under Theodoric the Ostrogoth. He is the author of theological treatises and he transmitted to the Middle Ages the works of Aristotle. In 523 Theodoric feared that the Emperor in the East plotted against him, this led him to imprison and execute Boethius. While in prison Boethius wrote 'The Consolation of Philosophy' a work of calm philosophy which is as admirable as the last moments of the Platonic Socrates. www link :
