Celebrated as “the most intriguing example of prison literature,” the Consolation of Philosophy finds a unique position between the stoic philosophies of Seneca the Younger and the later Christian ideas of consolation explored by Thomas Aquinas. The work is profoundly influenced by the dialogues of Plato and the philosophical traditions that shaped Boethius himself.
