Description

Boethius of Dacia, or more accurately Boethius of Dania, was a 13th century Danish philosopher who was inspired by the growing Aristotelian revolution taking place in European universities. For Boethius, philosophy was the primary task of all mankind. The search for truth and wisdom was paramount to the Christian and part of the spiritual journey that they must engage in. In this work Boethius describes rational contemplation on eternal truths, and the soul's natural desire to attain the highest rational good, which is union with God.
