Dante and Analogical Demonstration in the Middle Ages

This text [dec. 2018] is essentially a translation of my article “Dante y la demostración analógica medieval”, which was published in Tenzone, issue 18, pp. 11-72 (Madrid, 2017), following my participation in the “Kick-off Meeting” for the research project “From Data to Wisdom” at the University of Porto’s Institute of Philosophy (November 26, 2018). My contribution to that project was titled “Diagramming Visual Perception in Dante: Exploration of a Medieval Model for the Study of the Rational Soul”. Both the original and this new version, which includes a number of amendments and additions that I have made in recent months, were translated into English by the Mexican-based translator John O’Shea.
