Boethius
Anicio Manlio Torquato Severino Boezio (in latino Anicius Manlius Torquatus Severinus Boethius; Roma, 475/477 – Pavia, 524/526) è stato un filosofo e senatore romano. Noto come Severino Boezio, o anche solo come Boezio, con le sue opere ha avuto una profonda influenza sulla filosofia cristiana del Medioevo, tanto che alcuni lo collocano tra i fondatori o precursori della Scolastica, in particolare della celebre disputa sugli universali. Fu principale collaboratore del re Teodorico, ricoprendo la carica di magister officiorum (settembre 522 - agosto 523). Boezio, nel clima di rilancio della cultura che la pace rese possibile durante il regno del re goto, concepì l'ambizioso progetto di tradurre in latino le opere di Platone e di Aristotele.
