Description:	Aisthethicon: Theatrical Acts at the Limits of Philosophy - Mario Lozano
	This dissertation studies a series of exemplary theoretical texts in which an exploration through the aesthetic figure of the theatrical act and its ethical considerations has been developed in relation to the limits of philosophy and philosophical thinking. Although some different philosophical and psychoanalytic texts bearing the stamp of different nationalities and time are studied, the arguments that form the core of this dissertation were taken from a series of theoretical and philosophical works published in the decade of the nineties in France. At the same time, this dissertation explores characteristics of the technique through which every one of the thinkers has questioned the limits of philosophical thinking. The technique, which we shall refer to as the aisthethicon, includes setting up spatio-temporal realms as the conceptual version of more traditional staging in the theater, as well as developing conceptual characters, dramatizations, plots and fictions that introduce suggestive paradoxes, aphorisms and oblique references.
