  5. Short Reads: Boethius Sidebar - Who Is Lady Philosophy?

    Short Reads: Boethius Sidebar - Who Is Lady Philosophy?

    This week, we take a momentary pause from the text, to ponder the origins of Lady Philosophy. What you will discover in this podcast, is a nexus of faith, reason, religion, and philosophy, in the books of Proverbs and Wisdom, and a powerful symbol who's meaning goes far beyond the superficial anthropomorphism of philosophy in human form. I couldn't think of a good way to work in the famous passage from Acts 17, but that's hovering in the background of this, as well...

    Short Reads: The Consolation of Philosophy, Book 3, Chapter 10

    We have reached the summit, and Lady Philosophy now lays out the full case defending Divine Unity along Neo-Platonic lines of reasoning. This is going to be an intensely technical episode, but if you make it all the way to the end, I have a treat in store for you. Did you know that Boethius wrote his own music? We don't know absolutely for sure what it sounded like, but you may enjoy "Bella quis quinis", a work by Boethius himself.
