Introduction
Abstract
In January 2025, in Rome, within the framework of the PRIN/PNRR project Aesthetics and Therapeia, funded by the European Union (Next Generation EU) and the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR), an international conference entitled Memory, Identity, Narration took place. The essays we publish in this issue of Critical Hermeneutics are a reworking of the presentations given by some of the Italian speakers (with the exception of Kearney) who participated in that conference. This issue, as with the conference that inspired it, aims to offer an interdisciplinary perspective, combining different approaches from theoretical and aesthetic philosophy, cognitive psychology, and narrative medicine.
