The Roman philosopher Boethius is best known for the Consolation of Philosophy, one of the most frequently cited texts in medieval literature. In The Prisoner's Philosophy, Joel C. Relihan delivers a genuinely new reading of the Consolation. He argues that it is a Christian work dramatizing not the truths of philosophy as a whole, but the limits of pagan philosophy in particular.
