ARGS 811 - Dante: The Purgatorio3 credits
Intended as a sequel to “Dante: The Inferno”; therefore, only students who have taken that course or who are very familiar with the Divine Comedy should enroll. An in-depth reading of the complete Purgatorio, the second canticle of Dante’s magnificent epic poem. Here, students have the opportunity to reflect upon the experience of spiritual transformation or purification in its psychological, philosophical, theological, and existential dimensions. Students may encounter the very concept of purgatory, the seven-storey mountain, where, with the guidance of Virgil, one is purified of the seven capital sins and is led laboriously up the mountain to the Earthly Paradise. Prerequisite: ARGS 810 .
