    The Emergence of the Modern Mind: An Evolutionary Perspective on Aesthetic Experience.Gianluca Consoli - 2014 - Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism 72 (1):37-55.
    On the basis of archaeological data and cognitive research, this article proposes an evolutionary story about aesthetic experience, arguing three intertwined theses. Aesthetic experience is adaptive; that is, it represents a specific implementation of the epistemic goal of knowing. It refunctionalizes antecedents and precursors: play and dreaming, technology and the ability to manipulate, and proto-aesthetic elements and aesthetic preferences. Mind and aesthetic experience co-evolve; that is, aesthetic experience requires mind reading and metacognition, and it helps them to reach their advanced (...)

    Introduzione.Lorenzo Bartalesi & Gianluca Consoli - 2013 - Rivista di Estetica 54:3-5.
    I sorprendenti progressi, sperimentali e teorici, intervenuti negli ultimi tre decenni nelle scienze cognitive, nelle neuroscienze e nella biologia evoluzionistica, impongono all’indagine filosofica l’urgenza di ripensarsi nel suo complesso. In un quadro epistemologico di fondo destinato a rinnovarsi radicalmente, l’estetica rappresenta senza dubbio uno degli ambiti di riflessione più stimolanti. In particolare, i risultati ottenuti dallo studio dei processi cognitivi e neurofisiologici umani...

    Arte e percezione. Alla ricerca della zona di evoluzione prossimale.Gianluca Consoli - 2013 - Aisthesis: Pratiche, Linguaggi E Saperi Dell’Estetico 6 (2):179-203.
    The evolutionary and comparative perspective represents a persuasive view to naturalize aesthetics - however, only if we avoid one of the most common prejudice. Precisely, the preliminary reduction of the aesthetic experience to the mere sensory perception. The paper falsifies this reductive framework reconstructing the zone of proximal evolution concerning the aesthetic and artistic dimension. In particular, we take as reference point the mind of the chimpanzee, at the same time unable to make art and limited to inescapable sensory and (...)

    Early art and the evolution of grounded emotions.Gianluca Consoli - 2015 - Aisthesis: Pratiche, Linguaggi E Saperi Dell’Estetico 8 (1):147-156.
    On the basis of a theoretical framework derived from grounded cognition and with reference to the available archaeological data concerning early art, this talk/article proposes an evolutionary conception of the aesthetic emotions, considered as an indispensable means that favored the emergence of the ordinary emotions in their modern version.

    Finzione e cognizione sociale.Gianluca Consoli - 2018 - Rivista Internazionale di Filosofia e Psicologia 9 (1):33-44.
    Riassunto: Negli ultimi anni alcuni studi cruciali condotti nell’ambito della psicologia cognitiva, della psicologia sociale e della psicologia dei media, e più in generale nelle scienze neurocognitive, hanno dimostrato che la finzione è in grado di favorire processi di apprendimento relativi alla cognizione sociale, in particolare rendendo possibile l’acquisizione di credenze, lo sviluppo di competenze sociali, il cambiamento degli atteggiamenti. Questo articolo esamina criticamente i risultati sperimentali più rilevanti relativi all’apprendimento dalla finzione e integra in un quadro teorico unitario i (...)

    (1 other version)In Search of the Ontological Common Core of Artworks: Radical Embodiment and Non-universalization.Gianluca Consoli - 2016 - Estetika: The European Journal of Aesthetics 53 (1):14-41.
    I propose that artworks represent a specific and homogeneous ontological kind, grounded in a common ontological core. I call this common core ‘non-universalizable embodied meaning’, and I argue that this common core explains how artworks unfold their ontological identity at the physical, intentional, and social levels on the basis of an original and irreducible mode of material embodiment and cultural emergence; this common core functions as the constitutive rule of art and institutes an axiological normativity, that is, normativity based on (...)

    L'evoluzione dell’esperienza estetica come forma di conoscenza e l’emergere della mente.Gianluca Consoli - 2013 - Rivista di Estetica 54:43-62.
    This essay proposes an evolutionary story about the co-emergence of mind and aesthetic experience. Based on archeological data and cognitive research, the story suggests that aesthetic experience performs an adaptive function as a specific implementation of knowledge and a crucial role in human mentation.
