The Consolation of Philosophy has been described as the single most
important and influential work in the West on medieval and early
Renaissance Christianity, and is also the last great Western work
of the Classical Period. Written while Boethius was in prison
awaiting execution, the work consists of a dialogue in alternating
prose and verse between the author, lamenting his own sorrows, and
a majestic woman, who is the incarnation of his guardian
Philosophy. The woman develops a modified form of Neo-Platonism and
Stoicism, demonstrating the unreality of earthly fortunes, then
proving that the highest good and the highest happiness are in God,
and reconciling the apparent contradictions concerning the
existence of everything.
