This volume presents the results of the research by the joint
research group Morphology of the University of Palermo and the
University of Milan which investigates the conceptual history and
theoretic topicality of the issue of form from a perspective
including aesthetics, biology, epistemology, the science of art,
and literary theory. The essays address the shift from the
eighteenth-century to modern life-sciences debate, moving through
Kant and the age of Goethe. Other essays revisit key figures and
concerns of twentieth-century morphologic debates: from Warburg,
the science of art, and the biological reflection on Gestalt to
Adorno. The volume closes with contemporary perspectives focusing
on artistic debates and on a rethinking of the methodological
foundations of morphologic discourse. This volume contains essays
