Excerpt: ... chapter xi The Universal Empire ' In the first book of his De Monarchia Dante sets out to prove that the universal empire is necessary for the world.456 He says457 that this can be shown by the strongest and most manifest arguments (potissimus et patentissimus argumentis ostendi potest). He tells us what sort of a monarchy is necessary for the welfare of the entire human race.453 "Temporal Monarchy, then, or as it is called, the Empire, is the government of one prince above all men in time, or in those things and over those things which are measured by time."459 Dante means therefore, that there should be one government over all men, no matter of what religion, or nationality they may be, and that for all time, not only for a definite period in human history, but always, as long as the human race inhabits this globe of ours. Moreover it is the temporal power which is limited to the temporal affairs of men, and is not concerned with the eternal destiny of man which is the concern of the spiritual power, the religious authority. The first argument which Dante advances in favor of the universal monarchy460 is based on the authority of Aristotle.461 Dante argues that when several things are tending towards one end, one of them should rule and direct the others. This, he declares, is necessary in the family, village, kingdom and finally the whole human race, having one and the same end and purpose, should have one supreme ruler, who is the Emperor. Dante points out here the necessity of unity of government, not only for particular localities, but for the human race, taken as whole. If there is a lack of unity people are impeded from attaining their end which is happiness, by the resulting discord and rivalry which even destroys entire states....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political Philosophy of Dante Alighieri: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Philosophy of the Catholic University of America in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Six hundred years have passed since the death of Dante Alighieri, yet today all the literary world is paying homage to his memory. Dante will ever be remembered as the author of the Divina Commedia, one of the masterpieces of world literature. I regard the present day as singularly opportune for the consideration of Dante's political doctrines. In perusing his works one is struck by the fact that he ardently desired peace, he longed for universal peace and advocated the establishment of a universal empire, which would prevent wars and assure mankind the blessings of continued peace. Dante taught that all men had one nature, that they had one end, and that this end is happiness. Dante was, so to speak, a prophet gazing into the nebulous future, and with hope in the mysterious ways of the Divine Providence, fortelling an institution which would so regulate the affairs of mankind that the universal brotherhood of men might become an accomplished fact. The greatest war of all history has but recently been terminated and after this lamentable experience mankind has decided to enter on some course which would prevent the recurrence of such a catastrophe. The League of Nations is now a historical fact, and irrespective of whether it shall live or not, we cannot but observe that humanity has never more seriously approached the realization of the ideals of the great Florentine than in the present time. And for this reason, I believe that one can pay no greater tribute nor render greater homage to the memory of Dante than by drawing attention to his efforts in behalf of universal peace and the universal brotherhood of mankind. Animated and inspired by this purpose I offer this study of Dante's political philosophy with the hope that it will in a modest measure contribute to the better understanding and a fuller appreciation of the genius of one of the greatest men and one of the most sincere friends of the human race.

Download or read book The Convivio of Dante Alighieri Classic Reprint written by Dante Alighieri and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Convivio di Dante Alighieri is a philosophical essay composed in the years between 1304 and 1307 after Dante's political exile in Florence. Dante wrote in Italian and the book is a landmark in the use of Tuscan language for serious literature. He chose Italian rather than Latin because he wanted all people to be able to read and understand his ideas. The unfinished essay has four separate parts. In the first book, Dante metaphorically represents the book as a banquet of wisdom, where the poetry sections are the main courses and the prose sections are the bread. In Dante's conception, the guests of the banquet are wisdom-seekers who are too busy with politics to purse their studies. Since Dante was in political exile, he was also making a point about the self-absorbed politicians who fought him. In the second book, Dante explains that after his beloved Beatrice's death, he started studying philosophy and fell in love with the subject. For Dante, philosophy is personified by a woman and the love he feels for her. In the third book he carefully describes this woman and defines philosophy as a loving use of wisdom. Dante's primary argument is that philosophy suffers when it has ulterior motives. The philosophical seeker needs to love wisdom and seek it for its own sake. In the fourth book, Dante defines nobility, which he explains cannot truly be inherited. He says nobility can only be gained from God, by acting in accordance with principles and pursuing purity. He explains his political theories, which eventually are put forth in more detail in other texts. Dante wrote The Convivio as a defense of his reputation. He also wanted to show Italians that he had cultural value as a poet and philosopher. The philosophical and political ideas of The Convivio reappear in greater detail in later works, particularly in The Divine Comedy. The Convivio is an important work by one of the masters of world literature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The De Monarchia of Dante Alighieri The De Monarchia is easily accessible in Latin editions, but an English version is practically unobtainable, at least by the American student of Dante. To be sure, it has twice been done into English, once by Mr. F. J. Church (Macmillan, 1878), and again by Mr. P. H. Wicksteed (Hull, 1896). If the former translation had not been long out of print, and the latter had not been published for private circulation only, the present volume would have less excuse for being. But with the growing interest in Dante, and the increasing number of Dante students in this country, the demand for ready access to all the poets work becomes imperative. It is in response to this demand of the American student of Dante in and out of college that this translation has been undertaken. In the notes which accompany the text the translator has had in mind chiefly the needs and interests of the literary student.

Download or read book Ethics Politics and Justice in Dante written by Giulia Gaimari and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics, Politics and Justice in Dante presents new research by international scholars on the themes of ethics, politics and justice in the works of Dante Alighieri, including chapters on Dante’s modern ‘afterlife’. Together the chapters explore how Dante’s writings engage with the contemporary culture of medieval Florence and Italy, and how and why his political and moral thought still speaks compellingly to modern readers. The collection’s contributors range across different disciplines and scholarly traditions – history, philology, classical reception, philosophy, theology – to scrutinise Dante’s Divine Comedy and his other works in Italian and Latin, offering a multi-faceted approach to the evolution of Dante’s political, ethical and legal thought throughout his writing career. Certain chapters focus on his early philosophical Convivio and on the accomplished Latin Eclogues of his final years, while others tackle knotty themes relating to judgement, justice, rhetoric and literary ethics in his Divine Comedy, from hell to paradise. The closing chapters discuss different modalities of the public reception and use of Dante’s work in both Italy and Britain, bringing the volume’s emphasis on morality, political philosophy, and social justice into the modern age of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries.

Download or read book Philosophy Mysticism and the Political written by Massimo Cacciari and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among today's Italian philosophers, Massimo Cacciari is perhaps the most assiduous commentator of Dante. Philosophy, Mysticism, and the Political collects all of Cacciari's writings on Dante to this day, from his masterful analysis of St. Francis of Assisi in Dante's Paradiso and 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 the Divine Comedy in Dante's terms. Cacciari approaches Dante's Ulysses and the theologico-philosophical vertigo of Paradiso not 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.
