This book reflects the most recent research devoted to a
systematized perspective and a critical (re)construction of
previous theoretical attempts of explaining, justifying and
continuing Kuhn's ingenious hypothesis in arts. Hofstadter, Clignet
and Habermas revealed to be the most engaged scholars in solving
this aesthetic "puzzled-problem". In this context, the structural
similarities between science and arts are attentively evaluated,
thus satisfying an older concern attributed to the historical
Kuhn-Kubler dispute, extensively commented along the pages of this
book. How can we track the matter of rationality and truth in art
and aesthetics, inspired by scientific perspectives? Are artistic
styles similar to scientific paradigms? Are we entitled to pursue
paradigms and masterpieces as rational models in science,
respectively in arts? On what possible grounds can we borrow from
science notions such as progress and predictability, in the study
of the evolution of art and its aesthetic backgrounds? Are the
historical dynamics of science and art affected by political
factors in the same manner? This book will be of interest to
philosophers, but also to historians of science and historians of
art alike in the reassessment it provides of recent debates on
reshaping the art world using Kuhn's "paradigm shift".
