This chapter engages Dante’s most sustained treatment of pride and humility, i.e., his passage along the terrace of pride, as grounded in a divine anthropology, drawing both on the Genesis story of human creation from the earth and on the kenosis “hymn” found in Philippians 2. Through images carved into the terrace, and through literary devices inscribed within these cantos, Dante’s anthropology emerges as a vision of the imago dei: humans are disposed to pride, the root of all sin, and yet summoned divinely to imitate Christ’s foundational act of humility.
