Dieci anni di estetica tedesca (2001-2010). Una bibliografia ragionata

After the great social and cultural transformations of the 20th Century, the philosophical investigation in the field of “German aesthetics” has to face two questions. On the one hand, it has to take into account the increasingly important development of the analytic approach to aesthetics. On the other, it has to preserve its own traditional cultural heritage. In this context, the present volume – edited by Alessandra Campo (alessandracampo81@gmail.com) and Micaela Latini (micaelalatini@quipo.it) – offers an annotated bibliography of German aesthetics from 2001 to 2010. This study does not claim to be an exhaustive account of the wealth of secondary literature on aesthetics in the German areas of the 21st Century. The aim of this book is, rather, to capture the distinctive features of contemporary German aesthetics by mapping its most promising topics, its prospects and potentialities. The goal of this volume is to outline and identify four main trends in German contemporary aesthetic research.
