Euritmie immaginifiche. Iconodulia e iconoclastia in Andrea Emo

Abstract

The article explores the theme of artistic creation in the philosophy of Andrea Emo, starting from the problem of writing. Heir of Giovanni Gentile’s idealism, Emo considers writing an inexhaustible activity of recreation of the same, in which the distinction between subject and object vanishes, and the reproducibility of artwork is impossible. Emo’s philosophy sacralises life and thinking as writing, forging a sublime pan-aesthetic logic.
