Aby Warburg, the founder of a new Science of Culture, the scholar who gave back word to the image; a &ldquo;militant&rdquo; intellectual (so wrote Gertrud Bing), for whom no distinction exists between life and thought; pioneer of new research methods, inventing &lsquo;machines&rsquo; of knowledge; architect of spaces designed as arenas of thought. The Library for the Science of Culture (transferred from Hamburg to London in 1933) and the <i>Mnemosyne Atlas </i>are the achievements to which the most substantial part of his heritage is linked. &nbsp;The ten essays here collected for the first time, all stemming from the Italian cultural milieu, trace with clarity Warburg&rsquo;s &ldquo;living thought&rdquo;. Giorgio Pasquali, Mario Praz, Gertrud Bing, Arsenio Frugoni, Giorgio Agamben, Guglielmo Bilancioni, Alessandro Dal Lago, Gianni Carchia, Salvatore Settis, Kurt W. Forster, Maurizio Ghelardi: the polyphonic dialogue, whether from close up or at a distance, between scholars of diverse backgrounds casts a new beacon of light that illuminates with clarity and precision Warburg&rsquo;s personality and intellectual legacy.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />&nbsp;<b>Summary&nbsp;</b><br />Foreword by Monica Centanni&nbsp;<br />Giorgio Pasquali, <i>A Tribute to Aby Warburg </i>[1930]&nbsp;<br />Mario Praz, Aby Warburg, <i>Gesammelte Schriften </i>[1934]&nbsp;<br />Gertrud Bing, <i>Aby M.
