Epigenesi e deduzione dei giudizi estetici. Per il superamento di antiche dicotomie

First, I analyze aesthetic properties and judgments as a paradigmatic case of overcoming the fact/value dichotomy. The aesthetic judgments are, therefore, defined as cognitive in a non-conceptual way and normative without defined standards. Then, I aim to a deduction in the Kantian sense of aesthetic judgments, connecting the empirical and the transcendental level of the exposition. The core of the deduction is the idea of an "aesthetic mechanism" as basis for the epigenesis of aesthetic.
