[Rec] The Philosopher’s Flame: The Divine Comedy Two-Part Series with Manuel Casanueva

The Divine Comedy stands among the central works of the Western tradition. Its journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise explores the human soul, tracing its passage from confusion to wisdom, from exile to illumination, and from longing to the contemplation of the Divine.

Across two evenings, we will explore Dante’s symbolic universe, its philosophical foundations, and its mystical structure. Each realm reveals a distinct stage of the soul’s ascent through a sequence of encounters, trials, and transformations.

More than seven centuries after its composition, The Divine Comedy remains a meditation on virtue, love, spiritual transformation, and the return of the soul to its source.
