Jason Aleksander is Professor of Philosophy at San José State University, USA. His work on Dante and Nicholas of Cusa explores the limits of knowledge and the ethics of interpretation, engaging broader interests in philosophical hermeneutics and the global history of philosophy, theology, and literature.
Redefining Faith in Dante’s "Divine Comedy" offers a bold reinterpretation of one of the world’s most studied poems. Through close readings of all three canticles, Jason Aleksander shows how Dante’s poem provocatively reconfigures “faith” as a mode of creative and interpretive engagement grounded in the exercise of practical judgment (phronēsis) and intellectual humility.
