Descrizione

The article investigates how Boethius, following Augustine (especially his De Trinitate) but going far beyond him, combines reason and faith by making use of Neoplatonic vocabulary and concepts within his Trinitarian theology, specially in three Opuscula theologica (with an eye also to the Consolatio). Whilst in the De sancta Trinitate and in the Utrum Pater Boethius focuses on the problem of reconciling God’s absolute simplicitas with the plurality implied by the Trinity, in the De hebdomadibus this concern gives way to explaining how all things that exist, insofar as they exist, can be said to be good, without being essentially good. Thus, the Neoplatonic idea of participation to (intended as emanation from) the Supreme Good (i.e. God), takes center stage, although, unlike Neoplatonic thinkers, Boethius avoids any ‘pantheistic’ implication of participation without, at the same time, making goodness a mere accident of created substances.
