Dante: Celebrating 700 Years |
|
Join us to celebrate 700 Years of Dante!
If you have read Dante, you are invited to share your thoughts on Dante and his work. If you have not, come find out why we are still talking about Dante after 700 years.

Transdisciplinarity, Renaissance humanism, homo universalis, and Polymathy are some of the ways of describing this approach which Buckminster Fuller called Comprehensivity and described as “macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive”.
