Abstract
The paper deals with the personality of Cassiodorus, philosopher, theologian, statesman of the 6th century. Cassiodorus’ works reflect the changes in his worldview, his interests in different periods of his life. The focus of the study is the most famous work of the Italian philosopher “Institutiones divinarum et saecularium litterarum”. In this work he formulated his views on school education and the spiritual enlightenment of his fellow citizens. Cassiodorus attaches particular importance to reading as the only reliable way to gain knowledge. In the “Instructiones” he consistently holds the idea that the program of the Christian school needs a synthesis of theology and worldly sciences. Without losing interest in history as a science, in his mature years Cassiodorus strives to see the unity of human history as a process that is under the influence of the will of God.
