Publisher's Synopsis
"Imprisoned on false charges of conspiracy, the Roman philosopher and statesman Boethius penned this a work in which he is comforted in his misfortune by Lady Philosophy. This book stands at the turning of the ages: Boethius took the best of pagan philosophy and made it the foundation of medieval philosophy and culture. It is a profound discussion of such issues and fortune and suffering, free will and predestination, and how doing good is its own reward. This Canon Classic will take you back to the Middle Ages and remind you that some things are more important than good fortune"--.
