Cacciari does not force Dante into any philosophical straitjacket. Rather, he walks with Dante, takes notes, asks questions, raises issues, and tries to understand the \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e in Dante's terms. Cacciari approaches Dante's Ulysses and the theologico-philosophical vertigo of \u003ci\u003eParadiso\u003c\/i\u003e not as a critic but from the point of view of a faithful, assiduous, perceptive, sometimes perplexed, and sometimes worshipful reader. Cacciari's analysis shows once more that Dante does not belong to the past. Dante creates his own age and stays with us whenever we wish to follow his path.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMassimo Cacciari\u003c\/b\u003e is an Italian philosopher, politician, and public intellectual.
