Dante's Vision and the Circle of Knowledge
In a masterly synthesis of historical and literary analysis, Giuseppe Mazzotta shows how medieval knowledge systems&#;the cycle of the liberal arts, ethics, politics, and theology&#;interacted with poetry and elevated the Divine Comedy to a central position in shaping all other forms of discursive knowledge. To trace the circle of Dante&#;s intellectual concerns, Mazzotta examines the structure and aims of medieval encyclopedias, especially in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; the medieval classification of knowledge; the battle of the arts; the role of the imagination; the tension between knowledge and vision; and Dante&#;s theological speculations in his constitution of what Mazzotta calls aesthetic, ludic theology. As a poet, Dante puts himself at the center of intellectual debates of his time and radically redefines their configuration. In this book, Mazzotta offers powerful new readings of a poet who stands amid his culture&#;s crisis and fragmentation, one who responds to and counters them in his work. In a critical gesture that enacts Dante&#;s own insight, Mazzotta&#;s practice is also a fresh contribution to the theoretical literary debates of the present.
