Dante’s Modernity
Abstract
One of the most prominent political philosophers of the twentieth century reads Dante’s Monarchia , showing the surprising relevance of this radical fourteenth-century treatise that defends the necessity of universal monarchy and its independence from the Church for modern political theory. Judith Revel’s accompanying essay submits Lefort’s encounter with Dante to a transformative mis/reading and ties it to current debates on the question of the common.
