Concept of "Openness" in Pareyson: employing the method of interpretation

This paper aims at describing the innovation of Italian philosopher Luigi Pareyson's aesthetics in comparison to Croce's aesthetics. First, the author underlines the separation for Croce between appreciation on literature and poem, and appreciation on music. For Croce, the aspect of appreciation on literatures and music is unalike. He nominates an appreciation on literatures as "traduzione", a translation, with which a new works are created through interpreting the original ones. In contrast, he calls an appreciation on music as "evocazione", the evocation, as the originality of works should be evoked as they are. Pareyson tries to unify the aspects of these appreciation by introducing a concept of "esecuzione", the execution. While Croce conceives the execution either as faithful realization of original works or as an expression of the executor's personality, Pareyson emphasizes the existence of an essential dialectics between the liberty of interpretation and the faithfulness to the original works. After contemplating such dialectics, Parayson reaches to a concept of "apertura", the openness. According to Parayson, it is the openness which leads interpreters to the multiformity of interpretation of the original works, as well as the infinite process of it
