Philosophy, Mysticism, and the Political: Essays on Dante
Massimo Cacciari, Alessandro Carrera, Giorgio Mobili
Among today's Italian philosophers, Massimo Cacciari is perhaps the most assiduous commentator of Dante.Philosophy, Mysticism, and the Politicalcollects all of Cacciari's writings on Dante to this day, from his masterful analysis of St. Francis of Assisi in Dante'sParadisoand Giotto's frescoes to a new consideration of Dante's European idea of empire as a federation of nations, peoples, and languages. Cacciari does not force Dante into any philosophical straitjacket. Rather, he walks with Dante, takes notes, asks questions, raises issues, and tries to understand theDivine Comedyin Dante's terms. Cacciari approaches Dante's Ulysses and the theologico-philosophical vertigo ofParadisonot as a critic but from the point of view of a faithful, assiduous, perceptive, sometimes perplexed, and sometimes worshipful reader. Cacciari's analysis shows once more that Dante does not belong to the past. Dante creates his own age and stays with us whenever we wish to follow his path.
