Soggetto, oblio di sé e silenzio. Una lettura della Consolatio Philosophiae di Severino Boezio

In this paper we intend to investigate the meaning of the loss of the self and how it is possible for the subject to reactivate, through an externalist procedure, his cognitive faculties. Boethius’ Consolatio Philosophiae is the story of the journey made by the subject from the self-forgetfulness, through re-appropriation of the cognitive faculties, obtained thanks the acts of reading the words enregistered into the Consolatio Philosopiae, following the capacity to reach, and having an epistemic knowledge of theological truths in the Opuscula Sacra.
