Philosophy admits the justice of Boethius’ self-vindication, but grieves rather for the unhappy change in his mind. She will first tranquillize his spirit by soothing remedies. Analysis covers some ancient greek mythological imagery, and the introduction of Unity as the ultimate goal, and a quote from Kant on the Moral Law. Bonus Content: **Shakespeare’s Sonnet 29.**

**{{< newtab title="Chapter 4" url="/shownote/Short-Reads-The-Consolation-of-Philosophy--Book-1--Chapter-4-ed47e0" >}}** – Philosophy bids Boethius declare his griefs. He relates the story of his unjust accusation and ruin. He concludes with a prayer (Song V.) that the moral disorder in human affairs may be set right. In the analysis: on the competition between **Dionysus and Apollo**; **The Ass and The Lyre**; Boethius’ similarities to the **Book of Job**.

**{{< newtab title="Chapter 6 and 7" url="/shownote/Short-Reads-The-Consolation-of-Philosophy--Book-1--Chapters-6-and-7-ed46mf" >}}** – Philosophy tests Boethius’ mental state by certain questions, and discovers three chief causes of his soul’s sickness: (1) He has forgotten his own true nature; (2) he knows not the end towards which the whole universe tends; (3) he knows not the means by which the world is governed. Analysis: Stoic lessons to ward off the passions; Divine order and the Great Wheel; assessment of the literary structure of the whole Consolation of Philosophy.
