Selfreflection, as the hallmark of the modern age, originates more profoundly with Dante than with Descartes. This book rewrites modern intellectual history, taking Dantes lyrical language in Paradiso as enacting a Trinitarian selfreflexivity that gives a theological spin to the birth of the modern subject already with the Troubadours. The ever more intense selfreflexivity that has led to our contemporary secular world and its technological apocalypse can lead also to the poetic vision of other worlds such as those experienced by Dante. Facing the same nominalist crisis as Duns Scotus, his exact contemporary and the precursor of scientific method, Dantes thought and work indicate an alternative modernity along the path not taken. This other way shows up in Nicholas of Cusas conjectural science and in Giambattista Vicos new science of imagination as alternatives to the exclusive reign of positive empirical science. In continuity with Dantes vision, they contribute to a reappropriation of selfreflection for the humanities.
