Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume’s aim is to stimulate philosophical interest in the experience of noise. There are at least three important open questions about noise. First, how should the relationship between noise as a scientific phenomenon and as a type of experience be understood? Is the one to be understood in terms of the other, and what implications may be drawn from this? Second, are experiences of noise strictly limited to perceptual states or to one type of perceptual state – for instance, to acoustic experiences? E.g. is there noise that is visual or tactile? Is there noise that is cognitive, affective, or evaluative? Third, how can philosophy make sense of noise in the first place? Should noise simply be relegated to the hither side of the explananda of philosophy, as the mere leftover of whatever philosophy sets out to account for; meaning, being, totality, etc.? Or may noise be understood as a positive phenomenon in its own right, which has its own distinctive features and content, difficult though they might be to pin down? This volume will contribute to the burgeoning philosophy of noise by highlighting how contemporary philosophical perspectives with a phenomenological or experiential bent can make inroads to these questions about a fascinating yet little understood quarter of human experience. Basil Vassilicos is a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Ireland. Giuseppe Torre is Lecturer of digital art practices at the University of Limerick, Ireland. Fabio Tommy Pellizzer holds a PhD from Ca’Foscari University of Venice (2019). In 2020–21, he was an Ernst Mach fellow at the University of Vienna, Austria. |
