SUMMARY:Philosophy Lecture: Human Immortality in Boethius' Consolation of P
 hilosophy
DESCRIPTION:Roman philosopher Boethius (480-524 CE) wrote the Consolation o
 f Philosophy while imprisoned on false charges of treason that ultimately
  led to his execution. He wrote it as a dialogue he imagines between himse
 lf and Lady Philosophy. Just as the Platonic dialogues\, the Consolation 
 is designed to induce its readers to engage in philosophy for themselves\,
  offering arguments that are sometimes based on premises acceptable to the
  interlocutors that the critical reader might nevertheless wish to more fu
 lly examine. One such premise in the Consolation is the claim that the 
 “characters” (mentes) of humans are immortal. Lady Philosophy does not
  offer an argument in defense of this claim\, but rather reminds Boethius 
 he has already been persuaded of it by many arguments. In this lecture\, M
 ichael Wiitala will reconstruct what such arguments for the immortality of
  a person’s character or disposition might have been\, drawing on things
  Lady Philosophy says later in the Consolation and on the Platonic and Ar
 istotelian traditions that she represents.
