This essay shows that the western paideia, since modernity, has increasingly been identified with empirical epistemology, ending up in the loss of two central and constitutional characters: the loss of epistemic practice (in the sense of Kant) and of epistemic aesthetics. The aim of the essay is to point out the need for the present paideia to recover these two forms of knowledge. Without these two dimensions, paideia does not only loose its foundation, but also its sense.
Il presente saggio mostra che la paideia occidentale, a partire dalla modernità, si è sempre più identificata con l’episteme empirica finendo per perdere due caratteri centrali che la costituivano: l’episteme pratica (in senso kantiano) e l’episteme estetica. Nel saggio si evidenzia la necessità per la paideia di recuperare queste due forme di episteme. Senza queste due dimensioni, non solo la paideia non ha possibilità di fondamento, ma non ha nemmeno possibilità di senso.

Abstract
This essay shows that the western paideia, since modernity, has increasingly been identified with empirical epistemology, ending up in the loss of two central and constitutional characters: the loss of epistemic practice (in the sense of Kant) and of epistemic aesthetics. The aim of the essay is to point out the need for the present paideia to recover these two forms of knowledge. Without these two dimensions, paideia does not only loose its foundation, but also its sense.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
