Such things are of value only if they are obtained in the pursuit of the highest Good. This highest Good is demonstrated to be God. Moreover, Boethius points out that when evil men succeed in obtaining such goals over the righteous, then they cease ...             Fortune's Prisoner: The Poems of Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy1 review Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius Anvil Press Poetry, 2007 Boethius speaks on justice, the nature of good and evil, fortune, and ponders free will An aristocrat and scholar in a time where neither were too much smiled upon, Boethius let his voice be heard for generations after, a millennium and a half later. "Boethius, Fortune's Prisoner: The Poems of Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy" is the ancient man's book of poetry, translated into today's language by classically trained poet in his own right, James Harpur. Boethius speaks on ...             Boecius De Cosolacione philosophie (The English experience, its record in early printed books published in ...1 review Boethius Walter J. Johnson, 1974 title given is incomplete What this bare title doesn't tell you is that this is one in a series of facsimiles produced by The English Experience(based in Amsterdam)and that the fuller title makes it clear that this is a photographic reproduction of the first printing of Chaucer's translation of Boethius. Chaucer's version dates from c.1380; almost a century later Caxton printed it (1477) from a now lost late ...             Boethius's "in Ciceronis Topica" an Annotated Translation/Medieval Dialectical Text1 review Boethius, Eleonore Stump Cornell University Press, 1988 An Important Contribution to the Scholarship of Classical Logic Professor Stump's translation of the In Ciceronis Topica, by Boethius, deserves high praise, not only because it makes available to English readers an important Latin treatise on the logic of the topics, but also because of its erudition and bountiful notes and explanations of this somewhat arcane (at least to modern readers) part of classical logic. Boethius stood (c. 500 AD) at the cusp ...             Consolation of Philosophy2 reviews Boethius Hackett Publishing Company, 2001 Relihan's 'Consolation' Should Not Go Unoticed The Relihan translation emphasizes the philosophical depth of Boethius' Consolation, while faithfully and artfully reproducing the original beauty of his verse and the sublimity of its meaning. With this edition comes a detailed and informative introduction, along with exhaustive notes and a definitive glossary. Joel C. Relihan is one of the leading authorities in Boethian studies; his ...             Consolation of Philosophy6 reviews Boethius Ungar Pub Co, 1980 When you find yourself in times of trouble.... The truly amazing thing about this work is that it was written in PRISON as Boethius awaited execution (following judgment and conviction based upon spurious charges). Bearing that in mind as I read "The Consolation of Philosophy" (if anyone ever needed consolation, it was an innocent man awaiting his own death; Christians should be able to relate to that idea) made it all the more remarkable. If ...             The Consolation of Philosophy (Classics S.)21 reviews Ancius Boethius Penguin Classics, 1976 truly consoling I don't read a lot of philosophy texts, but I read this one after my father died and was surprised to find it very meaningful and truly consoling.             The Theological Tractates and The Consolation of Philosophy5 reviews Boethius Digireads.com, 2007 The Best Book You'll Ever Read? The Consolation of Philosophy is among the best books I have ever read. I understand from a friend and authority that virtually every educated person in the West read this book until the 19th century and that there have been hundreds of translations. It is a pity that the work has all but dropped from the syllabus of Higher Education in the United States.             Boethius' Consolation Of Philosophy8 reviews Boethius Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2006 Remains vital after fifteen hundred years The particular edition I am reviewing is the Oxford World's Classics translation by P. G. Walsh. This is one of those classics that can catch an unsuspecting reader completely by surprise, especially if one has read many other works by near contemporaries. The circumstances under which it was composed are legendary, and lend the work a legitimacy granted to few other works. Boethius was ...             The consolation of philosophy; (Milestones of thought in the history of ideas)1 review Boethius F. Ungar Pub.
