Aesthetics

The main focus in my work on aesthetics is on literary works of art (more on this topic here). In addition, I have worked on the aesthetics of Franz Brentano and his school and made some reflections on the prospects of neuro-aesthetics. In recent years I had the privilege to have a fruitful exchange with Clotilde Calabi and Marco Santambrogio on various topics in aesthetics, mainly on variants and on aesthetic experience.
