As Maria Luisa Ardizzone shows, its language and logic are deeply connected to medieval culture and the philosophical debates of the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. In Reading as the Angels Read, Ardizzone reconstructs the cultural and socio-political background that provided the motivation for the Banquet and offers a bold new reading of this ambitious work. Drawing on a deep knowledge of Dante's engagement with biblical, Augustinian, Neoplatonic, and Aristotelian philosophy, she suggests that the Banquet is not an encyclopedia of learning as many have claimed, but Dante's attempt to articulate a theory of human happiness in which perfect knowledge is the natural basis for a well-organized political community."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321. $t Convivio. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n86054448 650 0 $a Politics in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85104473 600 16 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321. $t Convivio. 650 6 $a Politique dans la litteÌrature. 630 07 $a Convivio (Dante Alighieri) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01357562 650 7 $a Politics in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896084 830 0 $a Toronto Italian studies. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95026425 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180102031503.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=615CCAA4EF8B11E79EB7FC5197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
