PHI 520 Dante & Catholic Philosophy
Anchored in Dante’s major writings, particularly La Vita Nuova and La Divina Commedia, this course addresses some of the key themes of Medieval Catholic Philosophy, such as suffering, death, free will and its relationship to providence, the transcendentals, temporality and historicity, good and evil, and the relationship between nature and grace. Examinations of key political themes are discussed through an unpacking of De Monarchia.
