AB A literary criticism of the book "Consolation of Philosophy" by Ancius Boethius is presented. It explores the satirical interpretation of the author and how it could open fresh possibilities for thinking about consolation in time. It examines the figure of philosophy as a homeless chic and irony in the book that go beyond Menippean polyphony into a full-blown parody of encyclopedic knowledge. An overview of the story is also given.
