Ian is hiking in Peru to find the perfect coffee bean, and he should be there for one week until he goes on another wild adventure. In the meantime, I have asked Matthew Hoskin to be a special guest to introduce a new series on Boethius and his Consolations of Philosophy.
In this conversation, Drs. Wyatt Graham and Matthew Hoskin delve into Boethius’s ‘The Consolation of Philosophy,’ exploring its themes, historical context, and relevance today. They discuss the contrast between philosophy and poetry, the nature of happiness, and the role of Lady Philosophy in guiding Boethius through his despair. The conversation highlights the enduring wisdom found in Boethius’s work and its application to modern life, emphasizing the importance of philosophical thought in navigating suffering and finding true happiness.
