Dante and the Modern Search for Meaning

0

Dante’s vision of heaven and hell, the cosmos and its spheres, is really a story of human loves and passions, human follies and virtues.

The joy and love which imbues his vision, as well as the sorrow for sin which is so tangible throughout it, makes us think of our own lives with new urgency.

Professor John Kinder’s exploration of Medieval politics and piety makes for a clearer expression of contemporary society’s needs and failings, and of the deep longing which exists in every person.

Dante speaks to our heart’s deepest desires.
