The Cambridge Companion to Boethius（ISBN=9780521694254） 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

　　Boethius (c.480–c.525/6), though a Christian, worked in the

tradition of the Neoplatonic schools, with their strong interest in

Aristotelian logic and Platonic metaphysics. He is best known for

his Consolation of Philosophy, which he wrote in prison awaiting

execution. His works also include a long series of logical

translations, commentaries and monographs and some short but

densely-argued theological treatises, all of which were enormously

influential on medieval thought. But Boethius was more than a

writer who passed on important ancient ideas to the Middle Ages.

The essays here by leading specialists, which cover all the main

aspects of his writing and its influence, show that he was a

distinctive thinker, whose arguments repay careful analysis and who

used his literary talents in conjunction with his philosophical

abilities to present a complex view of the world.

· Examines both the philosophical and literary aspects of

Boethius's work · The appendix provides a complete and easy to use

guide to Boethius's works including editions and translations ·

Each chapter provides an important original contribution to the

His works also include a long series of logical translations, commentaries and monographs and some short but densely-argued theological treatises, all of which were enormously influential on medieval thought. But Boethius was more than a writer who passed on important ancient ideas to the Middle Ages. The essays here by leading specialists, which cover all the main aspects of his writing and its influence, show that he was a distinctive thinker, whose arguments repay careful analysis and who used his literary talents in conjunction with his philosophical abilities to present a complex view of the world.
