The Consolation of Philosophy - Boethius

Translated with an introduction by V.E. Watts; Clean, tight, unmarked; some light scratches to covers; some sticker removal damage to lower back corner of cover; age tanned; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; This book is perhaps unique in the nature and extent of its influence on Western thinking.Written in the period leading up to his brutal execution, it is a dialogue of alternating prose and verse between the ailing prisoner and his 'nurse' Philosophy, whose instruction on the nature of fortune and happiness, good and evil, fate and free will, restore his health and bring him to enlightenment.
