Through a profound philosophical analysis, the author invites the reader to rediscover those immediate and strange experiences which, upon confronting us with an unknown nature, become the driving force of our artistic expressions. An essential read for understanding the roots of Western imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses the central question of what experiences, unusual to us today, lie at the origin of phenomena such as poetry, painting, or music. Grassi argues that a thousand-year-old history, decisive for the West, surrounds us with a rich tradition that connects apparently isolated events, providing us with an image of a closed world where we feel protected, as if by the walls of our cities or by works of art. However, the author probes beyond that comfort to discover the original motive of our artistic creations, resorting to immediate experiences arising from the encounter with a strange nature and reality. Thus, he unravels how myth and art have been intertwined from their beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe origin of artistic creation and its relationship with mythical experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophy of aesthetics and the role of imagination in Western culture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe connection between tradition, nature, and the production of art and poetry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the immediate experiences that motivate symbolic expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals of philosophy, art theory, aesthetics, and literary essays.
