    Abstract. 30 years are the temporal distance between the Peter J. Larkham and Andrew N. Jones’ work A Glosssary of Urban Form (1991) and the new Glossary of Morphology (2020) by Federico Vercellone and Salvatore Tedesco (editors). Even if the two works are different in setting, in consistency and above all in the field of knowledge to which each refers (urban morphology on the one hand and aesthetic philosophy on the other), the two glossaries show many similarities in their attempt to construct a taxonomy of concepts relating to form (including the city). The purpose of the paper is the comparison between two disciplines especially on three concepts: “morphology”, “morphogenesis” and “metamorphosis”. The consideration of morphology from the point of view of the evolution - corruption of the form and above all of its original constitution (archetypal and - or also as an anthropological datum) is of particular interest here. The proposed contribution, as preliminary reflections on an interdisciplinary study to be carried out, will take the form of a dialogue around the same object from two different points of view

    Formation

    Since the first programmatic drafts devoted to MORPHOLOGY, Goethe establishes a very strong connection between the birth of the new science, a dynamic consideration of FORM, and the intent to reach the description of the procedures through which the FORM itself is produced, transformed, and perceived. In fact, the first private entry dedicated to MORPHOLOGY defines it as “Lehre von der Gestalt, der Bildung und Umbildung der organischen Körper

    Introduction

    Starting from Goethe. Currently, there exists no discipline whose specific boundaries could be defined as MORPHOLOGY. Nevertheless, it is possible to trace out its history in ample terms and to define its scope broadly by understanding it as the place where the semantics of FORMS are defined and where they are connected to a reference IMAGE. The central link in the field of MORPHOLOGY is FORM-IMAGE, and it refers to those dynamics of the FORM and to the DYNAMIC SYSTEMS that have taken hold in late modernity and that continue to grow today

    Phenomenology and ontology. In the Goethean project of MORPHOLOGY, some basic theoretical LINES can be seen which have not ceased to profoundly influence the further development of methodological reflection on living FORMS and their becoming, on the relationships between FORM and IMAGE, and not least on the configurations of knowledge in the light of the decisive encounter with FORM and IMAGE

    Aesthetics

    Aesthetics, structure and perception of the living form. Since its modern disciplinary foundation, AESTHETICS has developed a position of great interest in defining the relationship between sensitive knowledge, FORM and the question of living FORM. In fact, defining as the aim of AESTHETICS the “perfectio cognitionis sensitivae”

    Hegel und Italien - Italien und Hegel. Geistige Synergien von gestern und heute.

    Obschon Hegel eine Reise in den Süden beabsichtigte, unternahm er keine Grand Tour nach Italien. Er betrieb seine Erkundungen in den bedeutendsten europäischen Hauptstädten von Berlin über Wien bis Paris, wo er der italienischen Musik, der Oper und der Malerei begegnete. Ohne diese Reflexionen über die großen italienischen Werke eines Dante, Ariost, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raffael, Machiavelli, Rossini, ohne den Blick auf die Rezeption der in Deutschland entstandenen Schriften über Italien (Winckelmann, Goethe, Gries, Rumohr, Schlegel) können Herausbildung und Grundgedanken seiner Philosophie der Kunst nicht zureichend erschlossen werden. Ziel des Bandes ist es, einerseits Hegels Zugang zur Kultur Italiens zu rekonstruieren und andererseits die Rezeption seiner Philosophie in Italien zu analysieren und das heute noch lebendige hegelsche Erbe aufzuzeigen

    Cristalli di storicità

    In questo libro, colleghi e amici di Remo Bodei ne ripercorrono l’opera filosofica restituendo un quadro articolato e affascinante che si presenta come una vera e propria introduzione al suo pensiero. Nei suoi numerosi libri, Remo Bodei non separa mai la dimensione storica dalla dimensione teoretica, e il suo pensiero si struttura in cristalli di storicità, ossia in “formazioni concettuali dovute al depositarsi e strutturarsi di eventi e idee nel tempo, che si modificano certo, ma secondo determinate modalità formali”. Arricchisce il volume un’ampia e aggiornata bibliografia di Remo Bodei
