“Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.”

Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy

This work in an imaginary dialogue between Boethius and the personification of philosophy, arguing that there is a higher power. Boethius engages questions such as the nature of predestination and free will, why evil men often prosper, and good men fall into ruin, human nature, virtue, and justice.

 

This 1676 French edition was collected and edited by Nicolas Regnier.
