"Acknowledging that the Consolation of Philosophy is ‘over-familiar and under-read,’ Joel Relihan puts to the side old bromides about the work and instead pays careful attention to the narrative(s) Boethius constructs, grounding his readings in the contexts the work cultivates, especially its Menippean elements. The result is perhaps the first satisfying reading of the Consolation to be produced, a satisfaction felt also in the ways Relihan mirrors Boethius himself in the thoroughness of his scholarship and the elegance of his exposition. No one who studies Boethius will be able to ignore this book." — Joseph Pucci, Brown University "Anyone who has been fascinated, intrigued, or perhaps puzzled by the meaning, structure or argument of Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy will find Joel Relihan's new book, The Prisoner's Philosophy: Life and Death in Boethius's Consolation, a welcome addition to the study of this core text of the early medieval world whose influence extends to the present time. Relihan's study is a tour de force that belongs in the library of all those who appreciate Boethius' depth and subtlety. Fortune's wheel has indeed turned in the favor of those who wish to explore with Relihan the intricacies and brilliance of the Consolation." —Fr. John Fortin, O.S.B., Saint Anselm College "The Prisoner’s Philosophy is an excellent work both of scholarship and of communication in support of a provocative thesis. Relihan and Heise present the Consolation as a new beginning for philosophy within a Christian context—a beginning only rarely appreciated since it enlists philosophy in aid of human affairs and resists the lure of an other worldly escape. Boethius not only despoiled Cynics, Satirists and Neoplatonists of their gold, but also crafted out of it a new Christian realism. Through a close reading of the text and of its reception, Relihan and Heise attend to the challenge that Boethius’ Christian vision and literary genius posed to rationalist conceptions throughout the Middle Ages." —Paul LaChance, College of Saint Elizabeth In this book, Joel C. Relihan delivers a genuinely new reading of the Consolation. He argues that it is a Christian work dramatizing not the truths of philosophy as a whole, but the limits of pagan philosophy in particular. He views it as one of a number of literary experiments of late antiquity, taking its place alongside Augustine's Confessions and Soliloquies as a spiritual meditation, as an attempt by Boethius to speak objectively about the life of the mind and its relation to God.

Das letzte Werk des Staatsmannes und Philosophen Boethius stellt nicht nur einen Höhepunkt und zugleich den Abschluss der spätantiken Philosophie in lateinischer Sprache dar, sondern bündelt zahlreiche literarische Prosa-Formen wie Dialog, Satire, Verteidigungs- und Trostrede mit einem außergewöhnlichen Reichtum an lyrischen und metrischen Elementen zu einem aus Prosa und Versen verwobenen literarischen Gesamtkunstwerk, das bis in die Gegenwart hinein immer wieder neue Leser gefunden hat. Dieser erste moderne Kommentar der consolatio philosophiae bietet neben einer ausführlichen Einleitung eine von Stichwort zu Stichwort fortschreitende eingehende philologische und philosophische Erschließung des Trostschrifttextes. Die vielfältigen Beziehungen zu verwandten Texten werden ausführlich dokumentiert. Der hier in zweiter, grundlegend überarbeiteter, ergänzter und erweiterter Auflage vorgelegte Kommentar, der in erster Auflage 1978 erschien, zählt zu den Standardwerken der spätlateinischen Philologie. The final work of the statesman and philosopher Boethius not only represents both a climax and the end of philosophy from Late Antiquity in Latin, but also combines numerous literary prose forms such as dialogue, satire, speeches of defence and consolation with an extraordinary wealth of lyric and metrical elements to weave a rich literary tapestry which has continually attracted new readers right up to the present day. This is the first modern commentary on the Consolatio Philosophiae, and beside offering a detailed introduction it also provides a detailed philological and philosophical key to the text of the consolation which proceeds from keyword to keyword. There is a full documentation of the manifold references to related texts. This is the second fully revised and extended edition of the commentary, which first appeared in 1978; it is regarded as one of the standard works in Late Latin studies.
