Dante Alighieri and universalism through his monarchy - Gustavo Leite Neves Da Luz - Bog

The aim of this work is to demonstrate the great contribution made by Dante Alighieri to a universalist theory of international law, through his political work Da Monarquia (The Monarchy), analysing the elaboration of a universal monarchy as the only means of a possible peace between the entire human race, with the intention of dividing the power of the world into temporal and timeless, the former belonging to a monarch or emperor and the latter to the Church.
