Esso costituisce un segno di stima e gratitudine nei suoi confronti per la testimonianza di serietà, passione e rigore che egli ha fornito in quarant’anni di attività accademica nell’Università di Siena e per la sua insopprimibile passione nel discutere ogni tema della filosofia. I contributi qui riuniti, ancorché non strettamente vincolati al titolo del volume e pur essendo ispirati a interessi e metodologie eterogenei, sono comunque riconducibili ad alcuni temi centrali della sua ricerca e richiamano lo spirito aperto e critico che ha sempre contraddistinto la sua riflessione filosofica

These concepts are considered as a conceptual framework represented by a fi ve-dimensional vector in which, in addition to the merely perceptive content (the identitive and specifying percep- tive attributes), non perceptive contents (semantic reference and various signifi cances assigned to concepts by single individuals) are analyzed. This model does not consider empirical concepts as the simple result of a generalization conducted on the basis of different perceptive instances, but highlights the relevance of non perceptive contents in their formation.

Such a process produces the biological knowledge, which is constituted by information relating to the external world or our own body. In humans the biological knowledge becomes much more complex than that of other animal species for the presence of the neocortex and the influence of sociocultural context: this kind of knowledge is called ‘ordinary knowledge’. In this paper I want to focus on the ontological structures of the world of ordinary knowledge. I argue that the ontological question of what there is, from the perspective of ordinary knowledge, is intricately bound to what can be perceived; indeed, the world of ordinary knowledge is made up of everyday objects experienced at the mesoscopic level

However, ordinary knowledge is not only the result of sensory-perceptual processes, but also of non-perceptual (noetic) contents that are present in any mind. From an epistemological point of view, ordinary knowledge is a form of knowledge that not only allows epistemic access to the world, but also enables the formulation of models of it with different degrees of reliability. Usually epistemologists focus their attention on scientific knowledge, believing that ordinary knowledge does not, or cannot, have an epistemology for it is not in any way rigorous. The papers collected in this volume analyse different aspects of ordinary knowledge and of its epistemology.
