«Rivista di Estetica» aims to build a bridge between aesthetic and ontology, by discussing fundamental issues of aesthetic, ontology and philosophy of contemporary art.

The journal is addressed to intellectuals from a range of formations and cultures, and its main topics are aesthetic, ontology and analytic philosophy.
