Written while Boethius was in prison awaiting execution, The
Consolation of Philosophy 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 Neoplatonism 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.
