"Poiēsis" in quanto "praxis": uno studio comparato delle teorie dell’arte di Kitarō Nishida e Luigi Pareyson

Abstract

This paper aims to compare the aesthetic concepts presented by Kitarō Nishida and Luigi Pareyson. The dissertator analyses them on the moral effect of  practicing the creative (formative in Pareyson’s terminology) acts: how the per- sonality of the creator/former comes in the form through these types of acts. Two  philosophers – one grew up in the East and one in the West – formed their per- sonalities in completely different way which were constructed in different kinds  of circumstances based on different religious concepts, and they were educated as a philosopher by a different method. Despite such different circumstances, they had a common vision: the personality of a subject of creative acts comes to form through the practice of creating (forming) acts. In this thesis, the dissertator tries to declare how they, Nishida using the phenomenological method and Pareyson with the hermeneutic one, arrived at the common conclusion that the practice of creative (forming) acts is the best way for forming one’s personality.
