In the face of Thomas Aquinas’ position that poets depict fiction, can Dante (1265-1321) make any meaningful claim to be a purveyor of truth? The Divine Comedy is considered among the greatest works of literature of all time – yet many find the work daunting. Purgatory, Dante’s beginning of the realm of salvation, includes a terrace for each of the seven deadly sins. Join our discussion of how love relates to each of these sins, along with numerous other topics. At the meeting on Thursday, February 7th, we’ll discuss the first twelve cantos of Purgatory - the second canticle of The Divine Comedy. Subsequent meetings will be held monthly with selections from the Great Books Foundation series. Contact Patrick Carey at 770-241-2511 for further information.
