Sammendrag av The Consolation of Philosophy, Part 2, Part V
Part 2, Part V av 82 · Book 1: The Sorrows of Boethius · 5 min å lese delen
In V, the speaker argues that money, jewels, natural beauty, clothing, and servants cannot give their owner genuine worth, even if these gifts endure. The argument turns from possession to self-knowledge: people degrade their rational nature when they seek goodness in external things, while riches expose them to danger.
Handlingen
- The speaker proposes stronger remedies and argues that money gains value through spending, which removes it from its owner's possession.
- Jewels and natural sights possess their own beauty, but that beauty does not become the observer's personal excellence.
- Nature requires little, while fine clothing and honest servants display qualities belonging to fabric, workmanship, or other people.
- Large possessions create further needs, and dependence on external goods places human worth below the objects people prize.
- The speaker links human excellence to self-knowledge and concludes that wealth cannot be good when it endangers its possessor.

Why does the speaker deny that honest servants increase their master's personal excellence?
