Abstract

Through some of Max Scheler's intuitions about the ordo amoris, this question is addressed in Dante Alighieri's thought, especially in the Divine Comedy. The work of the Florentine poet is based on the ordination of the intellect and the will of the good of man, as well as on the search for the first love that moves this inclination of man. Through several examples taken from the Divine Comedy, this article adresses this fundamental question in Dante's greatest work.
