Arts & Literature

“Many of the great philosophers of the past have felt compelled to comment on Dante’s Divine Comedy. Can one also bring Dante into conversation with current philosophers, including those who do not make such comments themselves? This is what Blaise Cirelli’s book does in many suggestive ways. Desire, punishment and reward turn out to be predicaments that speak to us across the ages.”
