Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius was a 6th century nobleman,
politician, and most notably-a philosopher. In his lifetime he saw
the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the establishment of the
Ostrogoths. He served a year as Consul but eventually came under
suspicion of treasonous dealings with the Eastern Roman Empire.
King Theodric the Great imprisoned Boethius and eventually executed
him. While awaiting his fate in prison Boethius wrote The
Consolation of Philosophy, a book about the weighty issues of life.
Framed as a dialogue between Boethius and Philosophy (personated by
a woman), Boethius discusses inequality and the overruling
importance of Providence. Along with his translations of Aristotle
and other Greek classics, Boethius' writings had a profound impact
on scholars of the Middle Ages
