The aesthetic trains an experience that is first with the world rather than of it. Reading a novel, listening to a piece of music, you are immersed in an interaction in which the environment is an integral part of the same extended mind to which you feel you belong. The book explores this paradigm, in dialogue with recent anthropological and neuroscientific studies, aiming at highlighting how human nature is nature that becomes interaction thanks to the expressive artifices that build an aesthetic bio-cultural niche.

Abstract
The aesthetic trains an experience that is first with the world rather than of it. Reading a novel, listening to a piece of music, you are immersed in an interaction in which the environment is an integral part of the same extended mind to which you feel you belong. The book explores this paradigm, in dialogue with recent anthropological and neuroscientific studies, aiming at highlighting how human nature is nature that becomes interaction thanks to the expressive artifices that build an aesthetic bio-cultural niche.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
