Abstract

The aim of this essay is to outline some fundamental features in the history of the concept of Morphology, from Goethe to visual studies. In its connection to the idea of dynamic systems, this concept has now grown as the focus of an extremely wide field of research, covering apparently disparate disciplines, ranging from mathematics to biology, from philosophy to aesthetics and history of art. At the core of this complex research frame are the concepts of form and image in their epistemological, aesthetic and cultural significance.
