Abstract

This article aims to clarify the stakes of the reading of Dante that concludes Ernst Kantorowicz's 1957 book The King's Two Bodies. It does so by reconstructing the relevant argumentative contexts for appraising it, starting from the account of the sovereign individual that Kantorowicz developed in his 1940s lecture courses at the University of California, Berkeley. It argues that, for Kantorowicz, Dante's articulation of an exclusively human dignity constitutes a decisive chapter in the larger genealogy of the "superman" idea he begins to trace in that forum.

人类尊严的超人起源:坎特罗维茨笔下的但丁。

本文旨在阐明恩斯特·坎特罗维茨1957年出版的《国王的两具身体》一书中解读但丁的利害关系。从坎特罗维茨1940年代在加州大学伯克利分校(University of California, Berkeley)的讲座课程中对主权个体的描述开始，它通过重建相关的论证语境来评价它。它认为，对于Kantorowicz来说，但丁对人类独有的尊严的阐述构成了他在那个论坛中开始追寻的“超人”思想的更大谱系中决定性的一章。

期刊介绍： Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture.
