Upon finishing The Consolation of Philosophy, I would declare that it's secret radical is godly providence. Boethius debates that divine awareness does not puncture upon human liberty because it is clearly distinct from human awareness. Along the route, as he is explaining the concept of godly providence, Boethius is withdrawn into a discussion of how godly awareness and individual free wish connect.

For Boethius, God’s eternality denotes more than that he is never going to die. Therefore, godly awareness is not really awareness at all – at minimum not in any direction like transient creatures can visualize awareness. The difference between awareness and freedom is perceived by understanding the distinction between God’s awareness as One who is external and our awareness as people in time. Thus far, we must struggle to link our soul with God through devotion. We are transient creatures, and we can only recognize things in a transient way. God, Boethius emphasizes, is external of time. He determines God’s timeless existence as eternal, and God viewing all times as the present.

In other statements, if God views all time as the present-day, then his awareness is wrong. But all times with respect to god are present, and so awareness is purely monitoring of the present. His notion of timelessness stresses one to adopt his thoughts about the naivety of godly awareness. Rather than looking ahead into coming time, God realizes all incidents at the same time. And since Boethius has explained that awareness of present incidents is not definitive, God’s awareness is clearly monitoring. In this technique, Boethius harmonizes godly awareness and human independent will, without killing our moral accountability before God.
