RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This book is totally based on the author’s experiences and reflections on the Italian plastic arts (architecture, sculpture, painting)and design.
Only by slowing down fieldwork investigation and measurement can we feel, think about, and touch the Etruria civilization with our own body. By integrating art styles, music and sightseeing into the real “slow life” we can unlock the shackle preventing eastern and western people from knowing each others’ culture.
CHALLENGE: We work to make a breakthrough in Kant’s theory of priori concepts and to practice Piaget’s theory of cognitive development so that we can build a well-ordered perception by selecting, discarding and generalizing influences on the outside world imposed by these cultural towns.
