| dc.description | Largely because of a reaction against an interpretation of Dante in Aristotelian and Thomistic terms, which were taken to be exclusive of other influences, there has been great neglect of the Aristotelian basis of the Divine Comedy for several decades. | en_US |
| dc.description | The first aim of this thesis is to show how Dante used Aristotle's ethics as the foundation for the structure of the Inferno and the Purgatorio. The second aim is to show how Dante transfigured this foundation by incorporating it into a mediaeval Christian framework. | en_US |
