The European Society for Aesthetics is born out of the idea to give voice to the unified and diverse voices of European debates in the field of philosophical aesthetics. The ongoing invasion of Ukraine by troops of the Russian Federation has shocked us all. It is a violation of international law and the sovereignty of Ukraine. Our solidarity is with the Ukrainian people as a whole and in particular our colleagues, friends, and students from Ukraine, to whom we are connected through a variety of co-operations.
