The Visigoths were misunderstood by 19th century British historians & classicists whose visions were warped by false parallels to their own Empire.
In the era of #Boethius the Visigoths were trying to out-Roman the Romans of their time.
There was no "fall"; just a long crumble.
Wait for my book: "The Rise & Crumble of the Roman Empire."
When did the Roman Empire actually fall? In AD 476? Or in 410? Or a millennium later in 1453? Or, if you apply stricter criteria, did the (Western) Roman Empire actually fall on a completely different date in the 5th century? On why 468 *really* matters: https://t.co/WOBBlIKjZg

A musician is one who, with study and well-calculated rationality [...] knows how to judge the modes, rhythms, and genres of singing [...] and of poems.
Boethius #music #quotes #Boethius #Philosophy
Infants and young people, as well as the elderly, are so naturally touched with a certain spontaneous feeling by musical modes that there is no age that is indifferent to the delight of sweet singing.

Only he who possesses the ability to penetrate the depths of his own soul can understand music.

A good plan. (Boethius, Consolation of Philosophy, Book 4 Prose 5)
Boethius objects that while ultimately there are punishments for the wicked, it doesn’t change the fact that so often it seems the wicked are rewarded and the good are the ones punished. In a world ruled by chance, this would make sense. But in a world ruled by a good and just God, this shouldn’t be possible.
Lady Philosophy assures him that when “the true causes of something are not understood, it can appear to be random and confused.” We are limited in what we understand about the workings of the universe. From our finite space and time, we cannot fully comprehend or fathom the vastness of eternity or God. And because of this limited knowledge, we see chance happenings all around. Fortune’s wheel and the hectic rise and fall of life feel all too real and overwhelming.
While our understanding is cloaked in mystery and uncertainty, we can hold on to certain truths as anchors in the storm. Lady Philosophy also promises Boethius that he “can rest assured that a good governor does indeed keep order and has a plan. You should not doubt that everything happens as it should.”
We are created and maintained by a God who is the source of all goodness and happiness. Who loves us more than we can imagine. And, as Romans 8:28 reminds us, he makes it so that “all things work together unto good.” (by Courtney Becker @greatsimagineer & SJ Murray @SJ_Murray)

Redirecting the hearts of the wicked. (Boethius, Consolation of Philosophy, Book 4 Prose 4)
The wicked seem to get ahead but are in reality only submitting to their base desires, like beasts. But Boethius objects that it would be much better if they didn’t have the power to act on their base desires at all.
Lady Philosophy once again surprises him by asserting that the wicked don’t actually have any power. She argues that “in the short span of a man’s life, nothing is so far off as to seem long to wait for.” All the machinations, scheming, and planning of the wicked to achieve their misguided desires will fail. It may seem to take a long time to us, but in the span and scope of eternity, it takes no time at all.
The wicked set themselves up for the failure by relying not on virtue, but the fickleness of their own desires. What they have created is a life full of restlessness, unease, and emptiness. They have sought to satisfy the deepest longings of their souls with false goods.
Because of this, “the wicked are actually happier being punished than they would be if there were no retribution to restrain them.” Deep within, they are made for more. They are called to more. And, even if they don’t realize it, the punishments which restrict them from fulfilling their base desires draw them closer to their true calling and redirect their hearts towards the good.
