Purpose of the ESA
The aim of the European Society for Aesthetics is to promote philosophical and other academic research and teaching in aesthetics and the theory of art, and in particular to encourage exchange between those pursuing these activities in different parts of Europe, and in the diverse traditions that European aesthetics involves.
More concretely, the ESA aims:
- To distribute information about the activities of national and regional societies for aesthetics in Europe;
- To organise regular international conferences and meetings for the discussion of topics in aesthetics;
- To publish, or help with the publication of, high quality research in aesthetics done by European researchers.
