PEApod - Research Center on the Philosophy of Experiential Artifacts 

PEApod is a research center based at the Department of Antiquities, Philosophy and History (DAFiSt) of the University of Genoa, Via Balbi 4, third floor, rooms 28-29.

PEApod conducts philosophical research on experiential artefacts, understood as objects designed to offer complex, engaging, or meaningful experiences, with particular attention to contemporary artistic, technological, and cultural artefacts.

PEApod aims to study the experiences mediated by such artefacts, through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates aesthetics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, and political philosophy.

PEApod is meant to investigate the values conveyed by experiential artefacts, constituting a forum for dialogue among philosophers concerned with value theory: aestheticians, epistemologists, moral philosophers, and political philosophers.

PEApod serves as a forum for scholars employing diverse methodologies, promoting dialogue between philosophy, the cognitive sciences, the humanities, and art history.

PEApod draws on the research project Horizon Europe ERCStg 2021 G.A. n. 101040535 PEA - The Philosophy of Experiential Artifacts: https://pea.unige.it/
