Abstract
Thinking body, through knowledge and arts, that is the question that proposes to examine this book, from various perspectives and approaches to the disciplines together, philosophy, philology, history, history of art and music. While there are many approaches that the subject arouses, now more than ever, the reflection developed here arises under the arbitration of the foundations of art the question: it focuses less to be such that to be submitted to the search for perfection and beauty, that art designs and offers the world. The period chosen, from antiquity to the age and classical humanist, is indeed that of civilizations artists who designed and built the body of man from the idea of beauty: the paradigms architectural, sculptural, pictorial and music are intertwined around the notions of harmony, eurythmy, symmetry, proportion, number and rate, but also of grace, free movement and sparkle that gives light to all manufacturing and completes the ineffable beauty. The Presocratics to Plato and Aristotle, Homer the tragedians, from Vitruvius to Leon Battista Alberti, Polykleitos to Benvenuto Cellini, Pliny the Elder to Raphael and Correggio, of Augustine and Boethius to Francesco Zorzi, Castiglione to Schiller, to quote some of the authors discussed, we want to better understand this aesthetic humanism which, by the fine arts, performing arts and music disegno, and those of the body, gymnastics, dance, fencing or equestrian art, aimed at understanding, development and construction of self.
