Estetica e natura umana: considerazioni programmatiche

Abstract

After the last decades of the Twentieth Century, when the attention of the philosophers was monopolized by the language, today we are witnessing a sort of anthropological turn also affecting aesthetics. This essay tries to explore the way in which it is possible and useful to undertake this kind of investigation in dialogue with some results of the sciences dealing with the human nature. At the center is placed the survey on aesthetics as a form of life, according to the line that runs from Wittgenstien to Wollheim.
