Based in New York City, Ilario Colli is an Italian-Australian author, philosopher and former classical music journalist. His philosophical interests span aesthetics, metaphysics and the philosophy of mind. He completed postgraduate studies at the New School for Social Research, where he was awarded the Provost’s scholarship. Robert Matthew-Walker once called him “Australia’s leading classical music critic.” He has interviewed such pre-eminent figures as Ennio Morricone and Max Richter, and covered the world première of Philip Glass’ complete Piano Études. His ideas have been discussed in Limelight Magazine and on Australia’s ABC national radio. His first major published work, In Art as in Life: A History of Beauty and a Critique of Postmodern Relativism has been described as “a major achievement for any writer.” He is gathering a new art movement around him, “Sublimism”, as a bold new alternative to Postmodernism; it already numbers novelist, Raphael Chloé as its chief literary proponent. On December 15, 2023 at New York’s prestigious Salmagundi Club, Ilario officially launched Sublimism to the world, in an evening hosted by renowned artist, Jacob Collins. In the same month was published Sublimism: An introduction, the founding document of the movement, which Ilario co-authored with Chloé. With his current project, an ambitious original work of philosophy and arguably the first attempt at a complete system of Metaphysics in the Western philosophical tradition since Shopenhauer, he seeks to synthesize the various strands of continental philosophy, quantum physics and world spirituality into a unified account of the nature of reality.
