Boethius and the Consolation of Philosophy
A lecture by Stephen Blackwood, delivered at the Temenos Academy in London, on the ancient Roman writer Boethius and his magnum opus 'The Consolation of Philosophy'. After tracing the Ancient Greek roots from which Boethius draws, Dr Blackwood sketches the Consolation's path to self-possession and true fulfillment, even amidst injustice, misfortune, distraction, and the inexorable movement of time. Blackwood argues that this perennially influential book, written as its author faced unjust imprisonment and torture, relates the inner life of the individual to the wider cultural renewal with which it is intrinsically connected.
The lecture was delivered on June 19th, 2019 at the Temenos Academy in London.
