Abstract
Giovanni Piana’s ‘phenomenological structuralism’ is an original, deeply insightful way of making the most of phenomenological research by exploiting and developing the conceptual resources of Husserl’s theory of wholes and parts. Drawing on both Piana’s pioneering application of Gestalt theory to phenomenological aesthetics and on his life-long familiarity with the theory of structured wholes, this paper shows how phenomenological structuralism can be very fruitfully applied to general axiology and proves decisive in accounting for concrete value experience, which is not adequately conceptualized in contemporary metaethics. Far beyond Piana’s own concerns, his structuralism can provide clearer foundations for classic, Schelerian phenomenological axiology.
