Abstract

This article investigates Dante’s engagement with one of the key and most controversial academic questions of the late Middle Ages: the beatific vision after the general resurrection. This essay focuses on Paradiso 14, where the character of King Solomon explains that the souls’ vision of God will increase after reuniting with their resurrected bodies. After briefly reconstructing the theological debate engaged by Dante’s treatment of the general resurrection, and discussing the prevailing tendencies in the scholarship on Paradiso 14 and the body–soul relationship in the Commedia, this essay provides a new interpretation of this canto from a social and political perspective. It argues that in Dante’s eschatological vision, the resurrected body appears to be essential for the ultimate fulfillment of humanity’s social nature.
但丁的政治末世论:但丁的政治末世论:在《天堂》中复活社会身体 14
本文研究但丁对中世纪晚期最关键、最具争议性的学术问题之一--普遍复活后的圣视--的参与。这篇文章的重点是《乐园》第 14 章,其中所罗门王的角色解释说,灵魂与复活的肉体重聚后,对上帝的憧憬会增强。在简要重构了但丁对复活的处理所引发的神学争论,并讨论了有关《天堂 14》和《神曲》中身体与灵魂关系的学术研究的主流倾向之后,本文从社会和政治的角度对这一章节进行了新的诠释。文章认为,在但丁的末世论视野中,复活的身体似乎对人类社会性的最终实现至关重要。
