John Took

John Took, Professor Emeritus of Dante Studies at University College London, dives into the transformative nature of Dante's Divine Comedy. He discusses how Dante’s epic is less about the afterlife and more about living meaningfully in the present. Took uncovers Dante's rich educational background, his compassion in portraying sinners, and the profound themes of love, morality, and redemption. They explore how the Divine Comedy serves as a metaphor for modern skepticism and reveals enduring truths about human nature, making it relevant even today.
