| rdfs:comment | - Boethius was a philosopher, and as such suffered from Restful Leg Syndrome. His ideas on work were published in “The Consolation on Philosophy.” As the patron saint of all philosophy majors Boethius now spends all his time in heaven arguing with Jesus. Many have likened his writing style to that of the Socratic method, and who is to disagree with that viewpoint? You?
- "During his imprisonment he wrote his famous De Consolatione Philosophiae, in which the author holds a conversation with Philosophy, who shows him the mutability of all earthly fortune, and the insecurity of everything save virtue. The work, which in style imitates the best Augustan models, is theistic in its language, but affords no indication that that its writer was in fact a Christian. Boethius was the last great Roman writer who understood Greek and his translations of Aristotle were long the only means of studying Greek philosophy. His manuals on arithmetic, astronomy, geometry and music were generally used in medieval schools." [1]
