(1265-1321) Dante Alighieri

Parents died before he reached his 19th birthday. Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 between May 18th and June 17th in Florence, Italy, His family had moderate wealth and a history of involvement in the complex Florentine political scene. Parents died before he reached his 19th birthday. He had a good education.8 The Big Questions What is man? Why does he act as he does? What is Good and what is Evil? When it so often looks like "Good guys finish last," why should anyone be good? The whole world, ultimately, has meaning, reason, and order. The source of the meaning, reason, and order is God's Divine Plan. The Divine Order is both knowable and achievable.

Around 1285, Dante married a woman chosen for him by his family, although he remained in love with another woman, Beatrice, whose true historical identity remains a mystery and continued to yearn for her after her sudden death in 1290. Around the time of Beatrice’s death, Dante began a serious study of philosophy and intensified his political involvement in Florence. He held a number of significant public offices at a time of great political unrest in Italy, and, in 1302, he was exiled for life by the leaders of the Black Guelphs, the political faction in power at the time. The Pope said if he had returned he would be burned at the stake.

All of Dante’s work on The Comedy (later called The Divine Comedy, and consisting of three books Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso) was done after his exile. This exile, which lasted the rest of Dante's life, shows its influence in many parts of the Comedy, from prophecies of Dante's exile to Dante's views of politics to the eternal damnation of some of his opponents. He completed Inferno, which depicts an allegorical journey through Hell, around 1314.
