Boethius (c.480 c.525/6), though a Christian, worked in the
tradition of the Neoplatonic schools, with their strong interest in
Aristotelian logic and Platonic metaphysics. He is best known for
his Consolation of Philosophy, which he wrote in prison awaiting
execution. His works also include a long series of logical
translations, commentaries and monographs and some short but
densely-argued theological treatises, all of which were enormously
influential on medieval thought. But Boethius was more than a
writer who passed on important ancient ideas to the Middle Ages.
The essays here by leading specialists, which cover all the main
aspects of his writing and its influence, show that he was a
distinctive thinker, whose arguments repay careful analysis and who
used his literary talents in conjunction with his philosophical
abilities to present a complex view of the world.
