- Abstract:
- This chapter examines the plight of Fra' Alberigo in light of philosophical questions of personal identity and embodiment. I argue that Fra' Alberigo's individuality and his punishment in Tolomea provides insight into Dante's unique interpretation of the complex relationship between body and spirit and the issue of material continuity in the spiritual realm.
