단테의 천체론

Abstract

In this article I will argue that Dante's cosmological conception refers to the modern copernican revolution, if we properly interpret the famous conclusion "l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle." of Dante's Divine Comedy according to Einstein's famous physical law E=mc2. In medieval cosmology lies the earth at the center of the universe, while the universe spins all around it. Dante introduced also the Aristotle-Ptolemy's geocentric universe to the structure of his cosmology, which is divided in three worlds, Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. There is nine spheres in Heaven. So, Dante arranged nine opposite heavenly spheres corresponding to nine divisions of Hell. Dante's concept could be arranged in ways to the arrangement or structure of the modern copernican heliocentric constellation, because Dante made through the travel of love no distance and positions between the earth ＆ the moon and the sun. Dante's love is displaced for the aristotelian first unmoved mover. Dante Earth Moon Mercury Venus Sun Mars Jupiter Saturn Copernicus Sun Mercury Venus Earth/Moon Mars Jupiter Saturn God is the farthest away from the earth-centered cosmos. Everything below the moon was corrupted, but the heavens were perfect, unchanging, immutable and incorruptible. God is the farthest away from the earth-centered cosmos. That perfection of the heavens was idealized as a kind of music, the sound of the heavens in motion. So Dante can pass with Beatrice through each of the nine spheres of the world, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Fixed Stars and Primum Mobile, because the battery of their love moved cosmic order. The Dante's love story which moved the heavenly spheres and stars will be further explained in mediterranean region.
