The Sensible Invisible by Roberto Diodato

The itineraries suggested in this book interrogate the ontological and metaphysical sense of aesthetic experience, understood as the primary experience, in which our complexity as human beings is invested by the world and manifests itself. Readers will find two different yet convergent intentions. The first, exquisitely ontologico-aesthetic, develops Merleau-Ponty’s concept of the flesh-element towards an ontology of virtuality, with the aim of understanding a new entity, neither properly living nor properly artificial, appearing on the background of being. The second, predominantly aesthetico-metaphysical, takes the entity’s force of being in the aesthetico-linguistic experience of deixis, and tries to show the work of the aesthetic logos as a condition of possibility for meta-empirical inference. working title

Roberto Diodato is Full Professor of Aesthetics at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, Italy, and at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Lugano, Switzerland. Interested in entangling the relationship between aesthetics and ontology, he has been studying the work of modern philosophers as well as some contemporary philosophical currents. His research also covered the relationship between aesthetics and cybertechnology. He is the author of several Italian books such Sub specie aeternitatis. Luoghi dell'ontologia spinoziana (Mimesis, Milan, 2012), Logos estetico (Morcelliana, Brescia, 2012), and Decostruzionismo (Editrice Bibliografica, Milan, 2016), and co-editor with A. Somani of the Italian book Estetica dei media e della comunicazione (Il Mulino, Bologna, 2011). He is also the author of Aesthetics of the Virtual (State University of New York Press, Albany, 2012), The Sensible Invisible - Itineraries in Aesthetic Ontology (Mimesis International, 2016), and of Vermeer, Góngora, Spinoza: L'esthétique comme science intuitive (Éditions Mimésis, Paris, 2016).
