The Great Poems Series: Unbinding Prometheus (OpenLearning)

Languages & Literature

Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote “Man is born free, but he is everywhere in chains.” Poet Percy Shelley believed words could be stronger than shackles, and wrote poems intended to free mankind from their chains. Some have argued that poetry can do nothing--or as W.H. Auden said, "Poetry makes nothing happen." Yet Henry David Thoreau, Karl Marx, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela were inspired by Shelley's words to live in the service of freedom and dignity, and they changed the world. The Unbinding Prometheus MOOC investigates both what Shelley's words have meant over time, and what his words might mean for us today.

Dante tra poesia e scienza (Federica Web Learning)

Languages & Literature

La Commedia di Dante, una delle opere più importanti della letteratura di tutti i tempi, è endiadi di poesia e scienza. Certamente la cultura scientifica di Dante è vasta per i suoi tempi; essa è talmente fusa nel discorso poetico che non disturba l’orecchio e la mente del lettore; essa non è espressione di mera conoscenza, ma rientra sempre nel concetto del poeta di leggere unitariamente il mondo e le sue espressioni; e di sicuro essa è la manifestazione più alta della scienza del Medioevo, frutto di non poche letture di una cultura scientifica non solo europea, ma anche araba, conosciuta attraverso le traduzioni latine delle opere o dalla frequentazione, come appare dalle ultime ipotesi di ricerche, di musulmani residenti in paesi dell’Italia settentrionale.
