Dante the Averroist? Was the greatest poet of the Middle Ages the disciple of the greatest Arab philosopher? The Divine Comedy places Averroes, the author of the "Great Commentary on Aristotle," in Hell, and in Paradise his Latin disciple Siger of Brabant, who, in what is now the "rue du Fouarre" in Paris, put "unwelcome truths" into syllogisms. Judgment of Solomon? This collective volume deals in detail with one of the most controversial chapters in the history and historiography of medieval philosophy and theology. Revisiting Dante's philosophical and poetic texts, from Vita nova to Convivio, De vulgari eloquentia and Monarchia, examining the productions and theses of his contemporaries, interlocutors, friends and adversaries, doctors, philosophers and poets, recalling and discussing the theses of his ancient and modern readers, the best specialists in the relevant fields, philosophers and Italianists, take stock of two centuries of studies on Dante, but also on Cavalcanti and Latin Averroism. Following three main axes, language and thought, emotions, politics, it is at the heart of European history and culture, in Paris, in Florence, on the roads of exile, that the contributions gathered here will immerse readers in love with Dante, Italy and literature.
