Greed condemnation in Purgatorio from Monarchia treatise

Authors

Keywords:

Greed, Dante Aligheri, Monarchia, Purgatory.

Abstract

Greed is the most condemned sin by Dante Alighieri in his Comedy. To understand this condemnation, in this paper, it is opted for a dualist lecture of Purgatory, i.e., one that allows us to consider both what reason understands human virtue and vice and what one must accept by the Christian faith. To achieve this, some of Dante's theological and political ideas are recovered from his treatise Monarchia.
