Dante shares the classical idea that political philosophy aims to defend the philosophic life, and in \u003cem\u003eParadiso\u003c\/em\u003e he does just that, defending philosophy, understood as a way of life, against its subordination to Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Stern shows the contribution Dante's reflection on political life makes to his theoretical defense of the philosophic life, a life whose character and goodness are conveyed by his intensely self-reflective poetry. On his account, Dante's approach can guide our judgment of any proposal for the comprehensive transformation of human existence. It enables us, in short, to think more clearly about just what we should mean by paradise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933945544940,"sku":"9781009687256","price":337.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781009687256-dante-s-political-philosophy.jpg?v=1783886422"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/paul-stern.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
