| Summary |
'Dante's Persons' explores the concept of personhood as it appears in 'Dante's Commedia' and explores the constituent ethical modes that the poem presents as necessary for attaining a fullness of persona. The study suggests that Dante presents a vision of 'transhuman' potentiality in which the human person is, after death, fully integrated into co-presence with other individuals in a network of relations based on mutual recognition and interpersonal attention |
