Aesthetic Normativity Workshop Schedule Announced

The Schedule has been announced for the Aesthetic Normativity Workshop at Harvard University, May 10-11, 2019. The Workshop is funded by the American Society for Aesthetics, the Department of Philosophy at Harvard, and the New York Institute of Philosophy. Samantha Matherne, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Harvard, has organized the Workshop, which is free and open to the public.

The Workshop will bring together philosophers working in aesthetics with philosophers working in other areas, especially such normative areas as ethics, meta-ethics, political philosophy, and law. The format for the workshop will emphasize collaboration. Each speaker will be paired with a commentator, each reflecting the blending of multiple perspectives on the relevant topic.
