While considering all arts, references are made to many concrete cases. A topic in vogue since the XX. century, as evidenced by the great philosophers who were interested in it (Ryle, Derrida, Eco among others), improvisation, a felicitous mixture of habit and creativity, norm and freedom, is constitutive of human action. Human practices - including very well-regulated activities such as playing chess, piloting airplanes, or medicine - permit and often require it to varying degrees.\u003cbr\u003eImprovisation is also the true source of artistic experience. Consequently, the aesthetics of improvisation result in a philosophy of art: Art was born as improvisation. Yet improvisation has its own aesthetic dimension: that of a \"grammar of contingency\" in which notions such as emergence, presence, curiosity and authenticity explain the pleasures of joyful adventure and empathic involvement elicited by improvisation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill Fink","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47572404863127,"sku":"9783770567072","price":9982.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783770567072.webp?v=1774889769","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/aesthetics-of-improvisation-translated-from-italian-by-robert-t-valgenti-9783770567072","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
