Resum

The question about the interaction between Art History and Aesthetics, which in this paper is considered from an important letter that Walter Benjamin sent to Florens Christian Rang, has been very important for aesthetic research. In that letter, Benjamin sustains that his main worry is «the relationship between art and historical life». The aim of this paper is to take this thesis as a reference point for analyzing the main hermeneutic and historicalphilosophical implications in the question of historicity, by developing his theory of natural history.
