解説
A vivid new translation of one of the great works of Western philosophy
The Consolation of Philosophy-a moving and profound exploration of the mysteries of suffering, evil, fate, and freewill-has inspired readers for more than a millennium, from Thomas Aquinas and Dante to Chaucer and C. S. Lewis. Although Boethius, a late-Roman Christian, wrote The Consolation as a work of philosophy, it has deeply influenced Christian and nonreligious thinkers alike. In this volume, Philip Freeman presents a compelling new translation of this timeless classic for general readers, students, and scholars.
Boethius famously wrote The Consolation while in prison awaiting execution, accused-probably unjustly-of treason. Drawing on Greek philosophy, including Stoicism, Boethius eloquently argues that the universe is just and that pursuing goodness and truth is the only path to happiness. He wrestles with the idea of fate before ending with a stunning defense of human free will in a world of divine providence.
This vivid translation captures the qualities that have made The Consolation of Philosophy one of the most popular works of classical and world literature.
