About
Enrico Terrone is a Full Professor at the Department of Antiquities, Philosophy, and History (DAFIST) at the University of Genoa, specializing in Aesthetics (PHIL-04/A curriculum). His academic role encompasses teaching advanced courses including Cognition and the Arts for the Master's Degree in Digital Humanities, Aesthetics for undergraduate Philosophy, and Theory of the Aesthetic Object for graduate programs.
His research spans contemporary aesthetics with strong interdisciplinary connections to cognitive science and digital technology. Key focus areas include the philosophical implications of generative AI in artistic creation, experimental approaches to aesthetic judgment, and ontological analyses of artistic artifacts. Recent publications demonstrate a consistent engagement with how digital media transforms traditional aesthetic frameworks, particularly through studies on AI-generated art, affective properties of artworks, and collaborative musical entities.
His 2024 publications reveal concentrated scholarly output centered on five major works exploring generative AI's role in art creation, experimental validation of taste theories, documentary ontology, affective properties of artworks, and musical group ontology. This output shows a distinctive pattern of bridging continental philosophy with empirical methodologies.
Professor Terrone maintains active teaching responsibilities across multiple degree programs while advancing research at the intersection of philosophy, cognitive science, and digital humanities. His work appears in specialized philosophical journals with increasing engagement with computational and experimental approaches to traditional aesthetic questions.
