A' bölcseség vigasztalásai by Boethius
"A' bölcseség vigasztalásai" by Boethius is a philosophical work written in 523 while imprisoned and awaiting execution for treason. Structured as a dialogue between Boethius and Lady Philosophy personified as a woman, the work explores how happiness can exist amid misfortune and how evil persists in a world governed by God. Through five books, Philosophy consoles Boethius by examining fate, free will, virtue, and the transitory nature of worldly power, ultimately arguing
that true happiness comes from within and wisdom has divine origins. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
