New Phenomenology

Hermann Schmitz (Leipzig 1928 - Kiel 2021) is known as the founder of New Phenomenology and for his philosophy of the felt body (Leib) and atmospheres. Author of an ambitious and far reaching System of Philosophy in ten volumes (1964-1980), he kept elaborating on his fundamental insights on atmospheres, feelings, space, felt body and consciousness in more than fifty volumes and many essays.

Tonino Griffero is full Professor of Aesthetics at Università degli Studi di Roma “Tor Vergata”, where he teaches Aesthetics. He has published several books about Hermeneutics, German Idealism and Aesthetics of Atmosphere, and translated a large number of books from German into Italian.
