波爱修斯(480—524)是欧洲中世纪开始时一位罕见的百科全书式思想家,在逻辑学、哲学、神学、数学、文学和音乐等方面都做出了卓越的贡献,有“最后一位罗马哲学家”、“经院哲学第一人”、“奥古斯丁之后最伟大的拉丁教父”之称。
Boethius composed De Consolation Philosophiae in the sixth century A.D. while awaiting death by torture, condemned on a charge of plotting against Gothic rule, which he protested as manifestly unjust. Though a Christian, Boethius details the true end of life as the soul's knowledge of God, and
consoles himself with the tenets of Greek philosophy, not with Christian precepts. Written in a form called Meippean Satire that alternates between prose and verse, Boethius' work often consists of a story told by Ovid or Horace to illustrate the philosophy being expounded. The Consolation of
Philosophy dominated the intellectual world of the Middle Ages; it inspired writers as diverse Thomas Aquinas, Jean de Meun, and Dante. In England it was rendered into Old English by Alfred the Great, into Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer, and later Queen Elizabeth I made her own translation.
The circumstances of composition, the heroic demeanor of the author, and the Meippean texture of part prose, part verse have been a fascination for students of philosophy, literature, and religion ever since.

评分“昔日里我陶醉创作令人愉悦的歌咏,但如今我含泪被迫写出悲哀的吟颂……” “被痛苦所缠绕,岁月的沧桑已悄然而至,忧愁困苦让我体验了年岁将至的悲哀……” “死亡……它对不幸者不闻不问,让流泪之人不能瞑目。她对我千媚百笑,然而悲凉已完全罩住我的头脑。她用云霓掩盖...
评分看后领悟了很多东西,虽然其中有关“上帝”的言论并不是很赞同,但是在对有关权利、金钱、欲望以及理性的觉悟上,的确是醍醐灌顶!
评分读到第二卷就惊艳了,我很震撼。 多么透彻,理性,振聋发聩,仿佛一盆冰水劈头盖脸而来,多少人被命运捉弄,多少人被世事蒙蔽双眼,真应该看看清楚。 我们这个浮躁的世界真的应该看看这本书,让自己清醒一点,不再被浮华冲昏头。能够理智地,泰然自若地面对命运。 那句...
