''The Consolations of Philosophy'' (ISBN 0-140-27661-0) is a nonfiction book by Alain de Botton. First published by Hamish Hamilton in 2000, subsequent publications (2001 onwards) have been by Penguin Books. ==Description== The title of the book is a reference to Boethius's ''magnum opus'' ''Consolation of Philosophy'', in which philosophy appears as an allegorical figure to Boethius to console him in the year he was imprisoned, leading up to his impending execution. In ''Consolations'', de Botton attempts to console the reader through everyday problems (or at least help them to understand them) by extensively quoting and interpreting a number of philosophers. These are categorised in a number of chapters with one philosopher used in each. * Consolation for Unpopularity (Socrates) * Consolation for Not Having Enough Money (Epicurus) * Consolation for Frustration (Seneca) * Consolation for Inadequacy (Montaigne) * Consolation for a Broken Heart (Schopenhauer) * Consolation for Difficulties (Nietzsche) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Consolations of Philosophy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
