World Views and Values: Boethius, Consolation of Philosophy (lecture 1)

This is a lecture video developed for my new online World Views and Values class with the ReasonIO Academy, which you can access here - reasonio.teachable.com/p/world...

The course was originally developed for students at Marist College. In this portion of the class, we are reading, examining, and discussing portions of Boethius' work, The Consolation of Philosophy
This video introduces students to that work and thinker, focusing particularly on the genre of the work, the cultural and historical context, and some of the key themes.
The course itself is intended to introduce students without a background in philosophy to some of the key texts, authors, perspectives, and concepts of the History of Ideas, with a particular focus upon human nature, culture and society, and the reality underlying and encompassing human beings and their experiences.

Here's the first of six Boethius videos from my currently ongoing World Views and Values class, online with Marist College

[@MrMarktrumble]

I have spent some time in Boethius"......nature of God and his manner of knowing. Eternity, then, is the complete, simultaneous and perfect possession of everlasting life; this will be clear from a comparison with creatures that exist in time. …for it is one thing to progress like the world in Plato's theory through everlasting life, and another thing to have embraced the whole of everlasting life in one simultaneous present. "(Boethius Consolation, V.VI.). Dasien's referential totality as represented completed in time like "Nude descending a staircase"? the transcendence of Dasien ( if possible) into reason (nous) into the "rational world order" (cosmos) not as a static world of forms(:type" as eternal, all the "tokens" prey to generation and corruption), but as a cosmological history...every totality assumes completion ( at least a measure) and this point in time assumes it, but how broad is the ring of completion, and what is reduced to what in dwelling in the central point? ( Which point completes a balloon? use a pin to discover that any of each complete the balloon)

I must say i found your video quite helpful. i have had an interest in the consolation of philosphy for quite some time now and i have finally decided to give it a try. I have had my difficulties with the poetry since it isn´t exactly what i am used to but your videos are guiding me perfectly through this masterpiece. Thank you very much for your efforts.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Glad that you've found the video on Boethius in this course video series useful for you

[@avinashbhusare128]

Thank you...mr sadler

[@AjaxNixon]

Just got done reading consolation of phulosophy, and now watching all your videos on it. Thank you! Im very attracted to a stoic flavor of catholicism (too much to get into here on my reasons why (I think it to be true ofcourse)) and Boethius is great. Very similiar to St Alphonsus' Uniformity to God's Will. I also poke at the Summa and am basically a fanboy of Ed Feser and cant wait for his book called 'Aristotles Revenge'. Thanks again!

[@GregoryBSadler]

Glad you enjoyed the videos! I'm a big fan of Boethius myself

[@michaelhebert7338]

Thank you. If "understanding" were sold, I would go and buy as much as I could... 🐬💕🍀👌"Sorrow not if, in these days and on this earthly plane, things contrary to your wishes have been ordained and manifested by God, for days of blissful joy, of heavenly delight, are assuredly in store for you. Worlds, holy and spiritually glorious, will be unveiled to your eyes. You are destined by Him, in this world and hereafter, to partake of their benefits, to share in their joys, and to obtain a portion of their sustaining grace."💞🍀🌼💕 ~Writings of Baha’u’llah
