Dante Alighieri and the Theater of Destiny: An Introduction to the Practical Anatomy of Genius
19.99 €
The reader always takes classical texts for granted, as if the form in which they originated was the only possible one. I ask the reader why Dante’s Divine Comedy was written. Why did it get this shape? What genre does this text belong to?
To get closer to the answers, we will turn to the mental tradition of the ancient Mediterranean and medieval Iran, discover a new genre of philosophical text - "journey into yourself" - we will enter the inner theater of Dante, look at his scenography, appreciate the performance of the actors of this bizarre monodrama.
But that's not enough. In order to conjecture the origin of the Divine Comedy, we need to consider all of Dante’s texts as a system, as a single text, and to understand its connection with the life strategy of the Florentine poet. Only then, at the end of the journey, will we have a shadow of understanding the thoughts, forces, and circumstances that can give rise to “forced genius” in man.
