Dante's \u003cem\u003eHermeneutics of Salvation\u003c\/em\u003e takes on this ambitious project.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTurning to Heidegger to provide a theoretical framework for her study, Christine O'Connell Baur illustrates how Dante's poem invites its readers to undertake their own existential-hermeneutic journey to freedom. As the pilgrim progresses in his journey, she argues, he moves beyond a merely literal, 'infernal' self-interpretation that is grounded on present attachments to things in the world. If we readers accompany the pilgrim in this hermeneutic conversion, we will see that our own existential commitments can help disclose the meaning of our world and our own finite freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA work of considerable importance both for and teachers and students of Dante studies, Dante's \u003cem\u003eHermeneutics of Salvation\u003c\/em\u003e will also prove useful to scholars working in medieval studies, philosophy, and literary theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54222623637848,"sku":"9780802092069","price":64.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780802092069_a5c666b8-07d8-46d0-8f92-19ecb0de531b.jpg?v=1778728537","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dantes-hermeneutics-of-salvation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
