YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Philosophy is often conceived as a way of making sense of a flawed existence. And perhaps no work is better for this than Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy. He writes this book while awaiting his painful death and imprisonment for standing up for the Roman Senate in the face of corruption, and for that, he has been condemned. His insights can help any of us, whether we are dealing with something as significant as an unjust imprisonment, or simply making our way through the endless tiny sufferings of life itself. This is how philosophy can save your life.
