Résumé
The journey through Dante's Divine Comedy opens with a powerful, yet deeply philosophical confrontation of two of the most profound theological concepts of the medieval era: free will and divine grace. Dante Alighieri, in his magnum opus, does not simply take the reader on a metaphysical journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, but he also seeks to address the existential tension between human agency and divine providence-a tension that has stirred theological debates for centuries.
Dante's narrative begins at a moment of personal crisis, symbolized by his being "midway upon the journey of our life, " as he finds himself in a "dark wood, " unable to find the "straight path." This dark wood symbolizes his moral confusion, but also the broader human struggle with free will, the freedom to choose between good and evil, and the consequences of those choices. In this introductory scene, Dante seems to be asking whether the path he must walk is one of his own choosing, or if it is shaped by a force greater than his will.
His journey through the afterlife will, in many ways, mirror this inquiry-investigating the question of human autonomy in relation to God's sovereignty, a question that lies at the heart of the theological debate.
