Description of Siobhan Nash-marshall, author of Participation and the Good:

This book carefully explores Boethius's doctrine of the good as defined in his two metaphysical works, Quomodo Substantiae and the Consolatio Philosophia. At base is an examination of Boethius's claim that the source of a finite being's goodness is his or her participation in the ultimate goodness of God. This idea later inflenced St. Thomas Aquinas' theological ruminations.
