De vertroosting van de filosofie

The book feels like a personal conversation with an inner voice. I wonder what motivated him to structure it that way and how that impacts its timeless appeal.

Boethius' thoughts on how fortune can change at any moment made me think about how I handle life's ups and downs. Was that just me, or do others see it as a comforting message?

The poetic passages add a lyrical quality to the philosophical ideas. I'm curious whether this blend was intended to make complex ideas more accessible or to elevate the message.
