Considered the "last of the Romans" and the "first of the Scholastics," by many scholars, Anicius Manlius Boethius wrote The Consolation of Philosophy while imprisoned for alleged treason. Deeply influenced by the works of Plato, Boethius crafted this masterpiece as a timeless dialogue that intertwines philosophy and poetry to explore the nature of happiness, fortune, and virtue, while offering a meditation on human suffering and divine justice. This new translation by Francesca A. Bosco uses language that balances clarity with authenticity, making its wisdom more accessible to modern readers. Revered through the centuries, Boethius shaped the works of literary giants like Geoffrey Chaucer and Dante Alighieri, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to inspire reflection on life's greatest questions.
