Boethius - Marenbon, John (Lecturer in the History of Philosophy, Lecturer in the History of Philosophy, Trinity College, Cambridge)

This brief, accessible introduction to the thought of Boethius offers a survey of the philosopher's life and work, going on to explicate his theological method. It devotes separate chapters to his various arguments and traces his influence on the work of such thinkers as Aquinas and Duns Scotus.
