Introduction “For this is certain, and this is fixed by an eternal law”, Boethius writes “that nothing that is born will maintain it”. In his Consolation of Philosophy, Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius explains how fortune is just and favors all humans equally, because beneficence and adversity are distributed arbitrarily to "mankind." However, some people seem luckier than others. Certainly, Boethius was born into a medieval social class that possessed more privileges and advantages compared to non-nobles, because he had been adopted by a "man of the highest rank" and, for this reason, made famous (among the Roman elites) for the merits of his “ancestors”. In order to explain the nature of nobility, Boethius describes his own biographical upbringing and argues that we should never act rightly in the name of glory and office. I will analyze the idea of ​​nobility in relation to fame and the idea of ​​dignity in relation to positions of high office, then I will argue that nobility and dignity presuppose moral and aesthetic categories because Boethius attributes a set of values ​​fundamental to human dignity. the dignity and nobility of being humanBoethius points out that what people want is different from what seems to be the best way to achieve happiness; fame and office are considered the means to happiness by linking them to dignity and nobility. However, neither fame nor office grants the benefits that people assume. On the one hand, if fame "creates merit", then nobility is glorified and personal merits are ignored. Therefore, nobility means being praised solely for the merits of one's ancestors (as opposed to actually being noble) and yet people seek happiness in office and glory because middle of paper......on the works in unison within the framework of the “well-born race”. Boethius' account of humanity emphasizes the dignity of human beings by attributing to each person a fundamental set of human values. Conclusion The nature of nobility and dignity is contained in the role of man, given that we are linked by a common love: to be a person means dignity in relation to other men, for Boethius; humanity is the whole and love binds each person in unison. In the moral sense, we find ourselves under the Kingdom of Heaven (where the “wise judge of justice” resides): man acts honorably in order to reward good and humanity is the object of respect in the moral life . In the aesthetic sense, if we seek false goods, we deviate from the understanding of the beauty contained in use. The nobility and dignity of the human race determine human beings as human and distinguish human beings from animals..
