In this lecture we explore and explain the political allegory and political philosophy of Dante in The Inferno (and Divine Comedy more broadly). Dante's Inferno is equally a work of political philosophy and politics as it is a work of theological allegory.

7:11-15:10 - Political Allegory in The Inferno
15:10-21:50 - Violence, Rebels, and the 9th Circle of Hell
