Michel Vâlsan e René Guénon: una dottrina degli stati molteplici dell’Essere in Dante?

Abstract

This essay analyzes some letters that Michel Vâlsan, the main follower of René Guénon’s work, addressed to the scholar Philippe Guiberteau in the late 1950s in order to illustrate the presence of a doctrine of the multiple states of Being in Dante’s Convivio. It will therefore be useful to return critically to the text of Vâlsan to evaluate it and evaluate whether it could constitute a positive methodological contribution to today's Dante studies.
