Textul de pe ultima copertă
“The focus of this fine collection of articles on Dante’s ‘sciences of the human’ […] reveals anew the startling interdisciplinary breadth of his intellectual project.”
—Joel Kaye, Barnard College
“In exploring Dante’s corporal imagery by placing in dialogue different disciplines, this book offers an original and stimulating contribution to our understanding of the unity of all fields of medieval knowledge.”
—Susanna Barsella, Fordham University
“By delving into the nuances at the crossroads of poetry and natural sciences, this book not only presents a series of innovative interpretations of Dante’s works but also imparts valuable insights into their enduring significance across disciplines.
—Eugenio Refini, New York University
This edited collection explores Dante Alighieri’s contribution to medical, scientific, and spiritual thought in medieval and early modern times. The chapters address how Dante shaped an understanding of the human body and mind, his relationship with medical and scientific thought in his literary and philosophical production, and his legacy which continued into the following centuries. Each chapter questions Dante’s contribution to these issues from an interdisciplinary perspective, thus putting medieval literatures in conversation with the history of medicine and science, politics, theology, and philosophy. Covering questions on the body, soul, matter, politics, and physics, this valuable book presents an overview of Dante’s relationship with medical thought and the medieval sciences.
