Before I do a formal finale on The Consolation of Philosophy I’m deliberating between Longinus’ Essay on the Sublime and Descartes’ Discourse on Method and Related Writings.
While I’m trying to work through my reading list chronologically, I do have Descartes (and of course, Hugh of St. Victor!) in hand, though I have bookmarked Longinus online and can read from there if necessary. The Sublime just appears to naturally follow Boethius in thought pattern of a higher state of being, and is intrigueing. I suppose I could go to Plato, since much is based upon his work, but I’ve read parts of The Symposium and Phaedrus before and am not as pulled into it right now.
