The essay makes a reading of Guardini’s Dante in the light of the polar opposition category. This polarity between opposites can be conceived in different ways, both in thought and art, that is, either by favouring one of the two sets of opposites or by highlighting the continuity and convertibility that exists between them. While the first attitude gives rise to a paradoxical philosophy and art, of the “however”, the second – more typical of the classical world, of the Mediterranean culture and of Dante – gives rise to a “katadossal” art and thought, i.e. of continuity, clarity and transparency.

Abstract

The essay makes a reading of Guardini’s Dante in the light of the polar opposition category. This polarity between opposites can be conceived in different ways, both in thought and art, that is, either by favouring one of the two sets of opposites or by highlighting the continuity and convertibility that exists between them. While the first attitude gives rise to a paradoxical philosophy and art, of the “however”, the second – more typical of the classical world, of the Mediterranean culture and of Dante – gives rise to a “katadossal” art and thought, i.e. of continuity, clarity and transparency.
