http://societymusictheory.org/boethius-information.html

Extractions: Boethius was a Roman scholar and statesman, author of the neoplatonic work Consolations of Philosophy De consolatione philosophiae ). He is best knows as a translator of and commentator on Greek writings on logic and mathematics (Plato, Aristotle, Nichomachus). He was appointed consul in 510 by King Theodoric, and in 520 head of government and court services. For political views he held, Boethius fell out of favor with the King and was charged with treason for defending a senator accused of treasonous activity. While in prison awaiting execution, he wrote Consolations of Philosophy One of the first musical works to be printed (Venice, 1491-92), Boethius's De institutione musica , written in the early sixth century, was for medieval authors from around the ninth century on the authoritative document on Greek music-theoretical thought and systems. The focus on counterpoint and the ecclesiatical modes in treatises after 1400 marginalized Boethius's volume to some extent, but it regained significance with the discovery and translation into Latin of ancient Greek works that Boethius had used as the basis for De institutione musica . Franchino Gaffurio, for example, acknowledged Boethius in

Extractions: Music Theory Online Volume 2.4: KEYWORDS: Deconstruction, Derrida, Plato, Saussure, textuality, McClary, Hepokoski ABSTRACT: This essay is a critical examination of the claims of deconstruction and "textuality." The three sections of the argument concern: I. Derrida, in one of his most frequently cited deconstructions; II. the problems of Saussurean semantics and post-structuralist textuality; III. broadly deconstructive strategies to be found in musicological writings. [1] At the close of an essay which sees off one of Derrida's opponents, Christopher Norris sets the following conditions for any future challenge to Derrida. He says, "[A]ny convincing challenge will have to do more than just rehearse what amounts to a litany of anti-deconstructionist idées reçues. It will need to show precisely where Derrida's arguments go wrong; where he misreads or misconstrues his philosophical source-texts; or where the claims of deconstruction themselves fall prey to a better, more adequate, historically informed, or cogent theoretical critique." [2] Let me begin with a cautionary tale. In Derrida's essay, "Plato's Pharmacy," from the collection

Extractions: Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius came from the family of Anicii who had been Christians for around 100 years. He became an orphan when he was about seven years old when his father, who became consul in 487, died soon afterward. Boethius was brought up in the house of the aristocratic family of Quintus Aurelius Memmius Symmachus. In fact Symmachus himself had been consul in 485 just before Boethius's father. Boethius was extremely well educated, being fluent in Greek and very familiar with the works of the Greek philosophers. Although there is no firm evidence to prove that Boethius ever studied in Athens or Alexandria, many historians believe that this must have been the case for him to have achieved a unique level of scholarship among his countrymen. He married Symmachus's daughter Rusticiana and they had two sons who would follow their father in being appointed to high public office. Boethius served a term as consul in 510 while in 522 his two sons held the office consul simultaneously.

The Roman Empire was Christian, its capital was Constantinople. Italy was ruled, nominally on the Emperor's behalf, by the Goths, who were Arian heretics; their capital was Ravenna, Rome kept its Senate and its Consuls (Boethius was a Consul and a Senator).

Medicine, for instance, does not always bring health to the sick, though the doctor will not be to blame if he has left nothing undone which he ought to do. So with the other arts. In the present case the very difficulty of the quest claims a lenient judgment. You must however examine whether the seeds sown in my mind by St. Augustine's writings have borne fruit. And now let us begin our inquiry. I. There are many who claim as theirs the dignity of the Christian religion; but that form of faith is valid and only valid which, both on account of the universal character of the rules and doctrines affirming its authority, and because the worship in which they are expressed has spread throughout the world, is called catholic or universal. The belief of this religion concerning the Unity of the Trinity is as follows: the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God. Therefore Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God, not three Gods. The cause of this union is absence of difference: difference cannot be avoided by those who add to or take from the Unity, as for instance the Arians, who, by graduating the Trinity according to merit, break it up and convert it to Plurality. For the essence of plurality is otherness; apart from otherness plurality is unintelligible. In fact, the difference between three or more things lies in genus or species or number. Difference is the necessary correlative of sameness. Sameness is predicated in three ways: By genus;

Extractions: xiii Since xiv of the creaturely sense, strongly contrasting with the temper of late nineteenth-century thought. Again, it now seems to me that a critical realism, which found room for the duality of our full human experienceâthe Eternal and the Successive, supernatural and natural realityâwould provide a better philosophic background to the experience of the mystics than the vitalism which appeared, twenty years ago, to offer so promising a way of escape from scientific determinism. Determinismâmore and more abandoned by its old friends the physicistsâis no longer the chief enemy to such a spiritual interpretation of life as is required by the experience of the mystics. It is rather a naturalistic monism, a shallow doctrine of immanence unbalanced by any adequate sense of transcendence, which now threatens to re-model theology in a sense which leaves no room for the noblest and purest reaches of the spiritual life. Yet in spite of the adjustments required by such a shifting at the philosophic outlook, and by nearly twenty years of further xv The recovery of the concept of the Supernaturalâa word which no respectable theologian of the last generation cared to useâis closely linked with the great name of Friedrich von HÃ¼gel. His persistent opposition to all merely monistic, pantheist and immanental philosophies of religion, and his insistence on the need of a âtwo-step diagramâ of the Reality accessible to man, though little heeded in his life-time, are now bearing fruit.

Extractions: THE GEOFFREY CHAUCER PAGE The Consolation of Philosophy The Consolation of Philosophy , by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius (ca. 480-584); written in prison while he awaited execution by Theodoric, ruler of Rome, was the most popular and influential philosophical work, especially among laymen, from the sixth to the eighteenth centuries. Chaucer translated it into English, as did King Alfred before him, and Queen Elizabeth I a couple of centuries after him. It deeply influenced Chaucer's work, especially in the Knight's Tale and Troilus and Criseyda ; see the introduction to Boece in the Riverside Chaucer (pp. 395-97). Boethius was author of a number of other popular and authoritative works; including translations and commentaries on a variety of topics. Chaucer was aware of some of these works; in the Nun's Priest's Tale , Boethius' treatise on music, De musica , is cited (VII.3294). For good introductory materials and a complete translation, see the edition in the admirable University of Virginia e-text series For brief selections of particular interest to the student of Chaucer see the following: Book I, Metrum 1
