A Consolação da Filosofia (Portuguese Edition)

A Consolação da Filosofia by Boécio is a groundbreaking philosophical work that has stood the test of time, offering profound insights into the nature of happiness, fortune, and the human condition.

Written during a year of imprisonment and torture, this masterpiece reflects on how even in the darkest of times, one can find solace and wisdom through the power of philosophy. As Boécio's "enfermeira" (or nurse), Lady Philosophy, consoles him with her timeless teachings, she reveals the transitory nature of fame and wealth, and the ultimate superiority of mental pursuits.

Through their dialogue, Boécio is restored to health and enlightened on the true nature of happiness, fortune, good and evil, destiny, and free will. This influential work has inspired countless thinkers throughout history, including Thomas Aquinas, Chaucer, and Dante Alighieri.
