Abstract
The question of the role of philosophy in the life of the person of faith has engaged the greatest minds for millennia. And the question of whether Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius was a martyr for the Christian faith has also engaged great minds. In De Consolatione Philosophiae, Boethius mentions almost nothing about Christianity and about the place of Christian faith in the sufferings he was enduring. “Lady Philosophy” comes to console Boethius, comes to answer his questions, to provide help in his hour of need. That she does not free him physically from his imprisonment makes it clear that the consolation she provides is an interior consolation, a consolation that comes from within or that is experienced from within.
