Forum on Aesthetics and Human Nature

The path outlined in the book "Estetica e natura umana" (2019) and some recent articles by Giovanni Matteucci is aimed at re-establishing the continuity that exists between various aspects and modalities connoting human experience: a continuity, the latter, that according to Matteucci has been undermined by a centuries-long dualistic philosophical attitude towards human nature as such. On this basis, this Forum puts his original philosophical conception to the test. The topics and problems called into question span from the relation to the traditions of pragmatism and phenomenology to enactivism, from the question of aesthetic properties to the role of the body in aesthetic experience, from the relation between perception and language to technology.
