Este libro fue escrito por Boecio en el año 524 en el período previo a su brutal ejecución, donde, afligido por la injusticia de su encarcelamiento por involucrarse en una conspiración, Boecio medita sobre la naturaleza de Dios, la inconstancia de la fortuna, la idea del libre albedrío, por qué le suceden cosas malas a la gente buena y la naturaleza de la felicidad.
