    Ästhetische Erfahrung und die Macht der Besitzergreifung
    Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie 68 (3): 327-357. 2020.
    After briefly noting key contemporary critiques of aesthetic experience, this article revisits its original account in Plato’s theory of aesthetic experience as the madness of divine possession and then Aristotle’s response of defending art’s rationality as poiesis, which largely dominates the ensuing aesthetic tradition. I subsequently explore how the mysterious notion of possession continues to surface in important modern accounts of aesthetic experience (e. g. in Theodor W. Adorno, T. S. Elio…Read more

    Pragmatism and Interpretation: Radical, Relativistic, but not Unruly
    Contemporary Pragmatism 19 (2): 91-112. 2022.
    Interpretation has been a key theme in pragmatist aesthetics, but its centrality in neopragmatist thinking goes far beyond the field of art. Its influence extends into epistemology, ontology, and the philosophies of language, history, selfhood, and culture. Joseph Margolis devoted many articles and even an entire book to this topic, which he titled Interpretation Radical but Not Unruly. My critical examination of Margolis’s theory of interpretation shows how it is radical not only in terms of it…Read more

    Applying contemporary pragmatism to the crucial question of how philosophy can help us live better, Shusterman develops his distinctive aesthetic model of philosophical living that includes politics, somatics, and ethnicity, while critically engaging the rival views of Dewey, Wittgenstein, and Foucault, as well as Rorty, Putnam, Goodman, Habermas, and Cavell.

    La philosophie comme vie éveillée chez Emerson et Thoreau
    with Pierre Lauret
    Cahiers Philosophiques 120 (4): 15-24. 2009.
    Emerson et Thoreau ont donné à la philosophie le sens d’une manière de vivre, consacrée à l’élévation de la conscience et à l’amélioration de soi. Par leur conception esthétique de la vie philosophique, ils se situent dans une tradition qui va de Platon au pragmatisme, mais ils sont également proches de la pensée orientale par leur injonction à mener une vie éveillée, au sens bouddhiste. La réforme morale et l’esthétique de soi participent à un être éveillé par quoi la vie philosophique se sépar…Read more

    Jürgen Habermas, philosophe allemand né en 1929, et Richard Rorty, philosophe américain né en 1931, n'ont pas la même conception de la modernité. L'un propose de reprendre le projet des Lumières afin d'atteindre la modernité alors que l'autre affirme justement le contraire. C'est pourquoi les participants à ces actes ont décidé de se référer à ces notions philosophiques pour présenter la modernité telle que nous la vivons.

    L'esthétique pragmatiste se distingue de la tradition philosophique en ce qu'elle ne cherche pas à séparer l'art de ce qui n'en est pas. Elle conçoit nos expériences esthétiques dans la continuité de celles qu'occasionnent nos diverses pratiques de vie, publiques comme privées. Comment penser cette continuité? C'est l'enjeu principal de ce livre, qui examine la question sous deux aspects. Les premiers chapitres retissent les liens qui nous permettent de comprendre comment nos concepts esthétique…Read more

    Αrte come religione: la trasfigurazione del Dao di Danto
    Rivista di Estetica 35 (2): 315-334. 2007.
    1. Incontrai la filosofia di Danto per la prima volta quando ero ancora uno studente universitario a Gerusalemme agli inizi degli anni Settanta del secolo scorso, durante un corso di estetica analitica, in cui studiammo anche i testi di Monroe Beardsley, Nelson Goodman, Richard Wollheim, George Dickie e Joseph Margolis. Ciascuno di questi filosofi ha una voce caratteristica, e non fu Danto ma Nelson Goodman colui il quale inizialmente mi conquistò ispirando le mie ambizioni filosofiche. Il su...

    Philosophy is typically identified with the textual practices of reading and writing and oral dialogue. It has also claimed to be an entire way of life, an art of living dedicated to the pursuit of wisdom and thus to the practices that such pursuit should entail. This chapter probes to what extent philosophy as a practice or art of living requires a literary or more generally textual form. It also considers why it should not confine itself to the limits of discourse. It argues that if philosophy…Read more

    Danto et l’esthétique pragmatiste
    with Laure Bordonaba
    Cahiers Philosophiques 144 (1): 27-37. 2016.
    Il semble évident que la philosophie de l’art développée par Danto s’oppose en tout point à l’esthétique pragmatiste. Non pas que Danto ait été un commentateur critique de Peirce ou de Dewey, auxquels il se réfère finalement fort peu. Mais le renouveau pragmatiste de l’esthétique, quand il remet au premier plan la notion d’expérience esthétique ou quand il cherche à restaurer la continuité entre l’art et la vie, s’est quant à lui en bonne partie explicitement construit contre l’œuvre de Danto. S…Read more

    Soggettività somatica e soggiogamento somatico
    Rivista di Estetica 149-182. 2015.
    This article (originally published in the English version of my book Body Consciousness) critically examines the value of Simone de Beauvoir’s philosophy for the project of somaesthetics. In contrast to most philosophers who view embodied experience as a universal given that is essentially the same for all human subjects, Beauvoir highlights how somatic subjectivities distinctively differ through different subject positions determined by the subject’s social roles and status. Her detailed explor…Read more
