Moving from Kant
and ending with Hegel
I explore the idea that habits are not contrary to aesthetic experience and that aesthetic habits shape taste as an aesthetic
sensus communis
. As such it has a normative and a socio-political dimension
as argued by Hanna Arendt and Gianni Vattimo. I defend the proposed theoretical hypothesis through an articulated historical-conceptual discussion of the different notions involved in my argument
obviously with particular regard to the notion of habit.
