description With the aim of grasping the transformations the study of thermal touch from a phenomenological perspective could bring to the aesthetic field, in the first part of this paper, I introduce the general idea of a plastic sensorium in the context of the Aristotelian doctrine of life as dependant on haptic conditions of thermal homeostasis. In the second part, I explore some recent studies in the field of haptic aesthetics, as they root themselves in phenomenological tradition and ideas. In the third part, I present Husserlian considerations on thermal touch and the cosmological questions a thermoaesthetics raises. I conclude by highlighting two paradoxical concepts that, I consider, the aesthetic analysis of thermal experiences, as they relate especially to fire, should try to understand: counter-hormesis and pyrification.
