Description
Chiara Cappelletto's Embodying Art explores the relationship between neuroscience and aesthetics, challenging traditional views of art and the human brain.
The author examines how neuroscientific and philosophical scholarship, as well as artworks and art criticism, intersect to shape our understanding of aesthetic experience. She critiques the assumption that the brain is a separate entity from culture and history, arguing instead that it is deeply embedded in affective, cultural, and historical contexts.
Through close readings of key texts and artworks, Cappelletto offers a profound philosophical account of the human brain as a living artifact. This book provides a fresh perspective on the complex interplay between science, philosophy, and art, shedding new light on our understanding of creativity, perception, and the nature of beauty.
