Dante's Deadly Sins is a unique study of the moral
philosophy behind Dante's master work that considers the
Commedia as he intended, namely, as a practical guide to
moral betterment. Focusing on Inferno and Purgatorio,
Belliotti examines the puzzles and paradoxes of Dante's moral
assumptions, his treatment of the 7 deadly sins, and how 10 of his
most powerful moral lessons anticipate modern existentialism.
* Analyzes the moral philosophy underpinning one of the greatest
works of world culture
* Summarizes the Inferno and Purgatorio, while
underscoring their moral implications
* Explains and evaluates Dante's understanding of the
'Seven Deadly Sins' and the ultimate role they play as
the basis of human transgression.
* Provides a detailed discussion of the philosophical concepts of
moral desert and the law of contrapasso, using character
case studies within Dante's work
* Connects the poem's moral themes to our own contemporary
condition
