About this episode

This episode discusses the themes of free will and divine knowledge in Book V of The Consolation of Philosophy.

If God has perfect knowledge of all time, do we actually have choices to make? To what extent can our wills possibly be free? In this final episode of Life, Death, and Meaning with Beowulf and Boethius, I discuss Book V of The Consolation of Philosophy and I tease where we are going next!
