In this session, we’ll dive into Book IV of Boethius’ The Consolation of Philosophy and talk about some big questions that still matter today, like why bad things happen to good people and why the wicked sometimes seem to get ahead. We’ll look at Boethius’ conversation with Lady Philosophy as she helps him see that true happiness and strength come from inner goodness, not luck or power.
