Consolation of Philosophy Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The Consolation of Philosophy is a Latin text written by the Christian philosopher Boethius in about the year 524 of the Common Era. It is a prosimeter (and probably the most famous one), written in sections alternately of narrative prose and more contemplative verse, which display a virtuosic command of the forms of Latin poetry.In the text, Boethius, who was actually imprisoned (by Ostrogothic King Theodoric the Great) and awaiting execution at the time of writing, is visited by Lady Philosophy, an allegorical figure with whom he converses. In their series of dialogues, Lady Philosophy offers Boethius consolation on his impending death through contemplation of God's omnipotence and the necessity of his fate.
