| description | Estetica Razionale played a crucial role in the debate about the nature of this discipline. To go back to understanding aesthetics as a theory of perception, rather than as philosophy of art, basically means to deal with a triad of capabilities which are strongly connected to one another: not only perception stricto sensu, but also memory and imagination - faculties without which perception would not offer any possibility of reasoning. In fact, it is only thanks to memory that it is possible to believe what is perceived, and only thanks to imagination that it is possible to compare, distinguish and subsume, even before inventing. If the "eye thinks in its own way" - if aesthetics, in short, can really be an ars analogi rationis – it is thanks to these three faculties. The following theoretical developments of Ferraris’ philosophy could be interpreted as a long elaboration of the theme of memory, which initially resulted in the theory of traces proposed in Documentalità, and later in the consideration of its ontological consequences with New Realism. |
