Summary "Dante et Goethe : dialogues" by Daniel Stern is a philosophical dialogue written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the interplay between the literary giants Dante Alighieri and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, delving into their profound ideas and contrasting views on humanity, existence, and divine love. Through the characters Diotime and Élie, the text discusses themes of destiny, the nature of genius, and the intersection of individual experiences with universal truths. At the start of the dialogue, characters Diotime and Élie stroll along the rugged Brittany coast, reflecting on their thoughts and ideas. Diotime unexpectedly reveals her fascination with Dante, likening the wild coastal scenery to the infernal imagery found in his work. Their conversation unfolds into a comparison between the two poets, emphasizing how Dante's religious and philosophical undertones resonate with Goethe's ideas about existence and the human condition. Diotime contends that, despite their temporal and cultural differences, both poets address the fundamental questions of life, love, and the divine, setting the stage for a rich discussion on the semblance and nuances between their works.
