Stanowisko
Boethius set out to translate all of Plato and Aristotle into Latin and to show that they agreed; he completed only parts of Aristotle’s logic, which became the basis of early medieval learning. In The Consolation of Philosophy, Lady Philosophy visits the condemned man and leads him from lamenting the fickle wheel of Fortune to the insight that true happiness lies in the highest good, which is God. He also argues that divine foreknowledge does not destroy human freedom, because God sees all of time in an eternal present. The book was one of the most widely read works of the Middle Ages.
