Morphology is, literally, the study of form (μορφή, λόγος). This special issue deals with systematic and experimental aspects of the concept of form in its original sense: that is, it considers qualitative forms (Gestalten) as they are generated dynamically and presented subjectively and aesthetically in perceiving (αἰσθάνομαι). In its original (Aristotelian) meaning, in fact, form is not simply geometrical shape, but also embeds cross-modal qualities such as colors, flavors, tastes, and most of all, meanings.

Abstract

Morphology is, literally, the study of form (μορφή, λόγος). This special issue deals with systematic and experimental aspects of the concept of form in its original sense: that is, it considers qualitative forms (Gestalten) as they are generated dynamically and presented subjectively and aesthetically in perceiving (αἰσθάνομαι). In its original (Aristotelian) meaning, in fact, form is not simply geometrical shape, but also embeds cross-modal qualities such as colors, flavors, tastes, and most of all, meanings.
