The title of the philosophical laboratory is "Magic and Wonder": a theme that will be addressed in different disciplinary contexts. We will start with the relationship between the concept of wonder, the origin of philosophy, and that of magic, and then see these concepts applied in very different fields, from the animal and plant kingdom to musicology.
