Consolation of Philosophy () is a philosophical work by Boethius, written around the year 524.

Watts on Boethius, God is like a spectator at a chariot race ; He watches the action the charioteers perform, but this does not cause them.

The book is heavily influenced by Plato and his dialogues ( as was Boethius himself ).

Another important source for the influence of Proclus on the Middle Ages is Boethius ' Consolation of Philosophy, which has a number of Proclus principles and motifs.

The word is Latin, meaning " the four ways " ( or a " place where four roads meet "), and its use for the 4 subjects has been attributed to Boethius or Cassiodorus in the 6th century.
