Dante in Philosophy
Book •
Dante in Philosophy is the English presentation of Étienne Gilson's work examining Dante's engagement with philosophical issues and asserting Dante's status as a Christian philosopher rather than a strict Thomist.
George Corbett notes its widespread use in anglophone Dante studies and critiques it as a polemical refutation of Pierre Mandonnet.
The book traces Dante's intellectual influences, including Latin Averroism and medieval scholastic debates, and argues for a synthesis in Dante that integrates philosophical autonomy and Christian faith.
Its polemical tone and prominence have shaped much 20th-century scholarship on Dante, often overshadowing Dominican interpretations.
The book remains influential and controversial among Dante scholars.
