Despite this divine presence,
1:45:04
the course of contingent events
1:45:06
doesn't take the
characteristics of necessity...
1:45:08
Exactly like a boat
1:45:11
descending a river's strong
currents doesn't derive...
1:45:19
the necessity of its own movement
1:45:23
from the gaze of the observer
who's contemplating it.
1:45:26
Fine. To which theory is Dante
referring in these verses?
1:45:32
To the theory of free will.
1:45:34
You give logical,
unexceptionable answers,
1:45:39
but the tone - indeed the
monotone which is a bit boring -
1:45:43
with which you answer
perplexes me a bit.
1:45:48
It's as if Dante interested
you little or not at all.
1:45:53
Just enough to pass the exam.
1:45:56
It seems your seriousness
belongs, ideologically as well,
1:46:04
to some young people from,
for example,
1:46:06
Comunione e Liberazione.
Is that the case?
1:46:09
No, I'm not in Comunione e Liberazione.
1:46:10
- Are you offended?
- Not at all.
1:46:13
- I don't know... Are you a pacifist?
- No.
1:46:16
Ecologist?
1:46:17
- No.
- Scared of the bomb?
1:46:20
- Not particularly.
- A Marxist then?
1:46:23
No, I'm sorry.
1:46:25
It doesn't matter,
you can also survive
1:46:28
without being a Marxist.
1:46:30
So, Mrs Barante, shall we pass onto
1:46:33
some questions about Greek?
1:46:36
Alright.
1:46:37
Shall we read a passage from Antigone?
1:46:41
Yes.
1:46:44
Lets open it at page 344
1:46:48
and we'll read the first 4 verses
1:46:51
starting with verse 1,339.
