I28-R145-7859_oai2020-08-31 Ubl, Karl 2003-06-02 After the path-breaking research by J.G.A. Pocock and Q. Skinner, the history of republicanism has been intensively studied in recent years. In the case of Dante, C. Davis and P. Armour related the political philosophy of the Italian poet to the republican tradition. This article tries to identify the limits of republicanism in the hierarchical view of politics which Dante traced out. It is argued that Dante should rather be labelled as a Platonist than a Republican. His idealist method, his concept of a philosopher-king, his blending of ethics and politics, his approval of meritocratic leadership, his concept of liberty presents him as a follower of Platonism, even though he himself did not know any of Plato’s political dialogues. Contrary to the elitism of Plato and Aristotle, Dante’s universalist concept of mankind sets him off as an original thinker. Luego de la investigación rupturista de J.G.A Pocock y Q. Skinnner, la historia del republicanismo ha sido estudiada de manera intensa en estos últimos años. En el caso de Dante, C. Davis y P. Armour relacionaron la filosofía política del poeta italianao con la tradición republicana. Este artículo trata de identificar los límites del republicanismo en la visión jerárquica que de la política tiene Dante. Se suele postular que Dante debería más bien ser presentado como un platonista antes que como un republicano. Contribuyen a esta lectura su método idealista, su concepto del rey-filósofo, la mezcla que realiza entre ética y política, su apoyo al liderazgo meritocrático y su concepto de libertad, incluso aunque Dante mismo no conoció los diálogos políticos de Platón. Con todo, es el concepto universalista de Humanidad de Dante, que, al separarlo del elitismo de Platón y Aristóteles, lo posiciona como un pensador original. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7859 10.34096/petm.v20037859 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7859/6917 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol 24 (2003); 39-56 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 24 (2003); 39-56 2683-9636 0325-2280 Dante Republicanism Platonism Political theory Hierarchy Dante Republicanismo Platonismo Teoría política Jerarquía Republicanism and Platonism in the Monarchia of Dante Republicanismo y platonismo en la Monarchia de Dante info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=7859_oai |

After the path-breaking research by J.G.A. Pocock and Q. Skinner, the history of republicanism has been intensively studied in recent years. In the case of Dante, C. Davis and P. Armour related the political philosophy of the Italian poet to the republican tradition. This article tries to identify the limits of republicanism in the hierarchical view of politics which Dante traced out. It is argued that Dante should rather be labelled as a Platonist than a Republican. His idealist method, his concept of a philosopher-king, his blending of ethics and politics, his approval of meritocratic leadership, his concept of liberty presents him as a follower of Platonism, even though he himself did not know any of Plato’s political dialogues. Contrary to the elitism of Plato and Aristotle, Dante’s universalist concept of mankind sets him off as an original thinker. |
