In the consolation of philosophy, Boethius attempted to personify philosophy as awoman, who converted a prisoner (Boethius) to the Platonic notion of good. Lady Philosophy made Boethius to know that despite the injustice of his imprisonment,there still eists !the highest good" which strongly controls the universe. #ere,attempt was made $y Boethius to apply his reason to human eistence in order tomake sense of eistence in a world which seems to champion evil and defy justiceand goodness. %his paper eamines the views of Boethius in the consolation of Philosophy and makes a critical analysis of these views. &ur methodology ishermeneutic in nature and so is epository, analytic and critical.
