Limiti, modelli, atmosfere in Aldo Giorgio Gargani

This paper discusses Aldo Giorgio Gargani's latest philosophical research. Three dimensions intertwining aesthetics are analysed: (1) the relationship between scientific patterns and aesthetic patterns; (2) the analysis of epistemic limits and their relationship with the nature of aesthetic properties; (3) the creation of conceptual alternatives such as the perception of atmospheres in art. Lectures, conversations, personal communications provide new tools for reading the relationship between aesthetics, epistemology, and philosophy of language. The critical revision of patterns of representation and rationality in different disciplines (“hybridisation of codes”) can be understood through an aesthetic paradigm that appears to be at the core of Gargani's method of philosophical analysis.
