Philosophy Dante's inferno
Dante Aligieri was both a writer and a philosopher and this Divine Comedy is regarded as his dealing with philosophical and theological ideas. The work contains many philosophical ideas that could be regarded as paradoxical. Take for example the fate of Aristotle, “master of those who know.” Cast into Limbo, where souls that were neither saved nor had sinned wondered. The context of Aristotle being placed in such a land is set to represent that even being philosophically perfect, one does not attain a level of having their soul saved, however, salvation is at the same time not possible without philosophy. There are two aspects that make it more difficult to evaluate a philosophical idea in Dante’s work, the first of which is how to interpret what is said by speaker, the second is that each character is supposed to have their own significances in the fact that they are there. Dante himself is meant to depict a man who has yet to awaken to his own philosophical beliefs, the tale of inferno takes place after the writing of Vita Nuova and before the writing of Convivio, De vulgari eloquentia, and other works. So, Dante, the writer is tasked with using himself as a symbol of someone who is experiencing such divine experiences, so great that they would influence him to later create his later pieces.
