About

the Guide

This Guide has been compiled for students who are

interested in pursuing graduate studies in philoso-

phy with an expertise or competence in aesthetics

or the philosophy of art It’s available free of

charge at http://aesthetics-online.org

In 1998 the American Society for Aesthetics sur-

veyed graduate and undergraduate philosophy de-

partments to determine how many have philoso-

phers of art on staff, what aesthetics courses are

offered, and what demand exists for those courses

It was found that demand for undergraduate aes-

thetics courses is steady and increasing somewhat

and matches demand for core courses; that almost

one in four departments report an increase in de-

mand for aesthetics at the graduate level; and that

many departments would like to offer more aes-

thetics and a substantial proportion have plans to

do so

The data for this edition of the Guide were collected

in 2012 using a survey sent to every North Ameri-

can graduate philosophy department Each de-

partment was asked to to identify the graduate aes-

thetics courses it offers, any teaching opportunities

for graduate students in aesthetics courses, and the

names and interests of faculty capable of supervis-

ing students in aesthetics Fifty-four departments

replied and are represented in the Guide

The information in this Guide has been reported by

the departments themselves It should not be un-

derstood to have been endorsed by the ASA, nor

should it form the sole basis for selecting a gradu-

ate program

About the ASA

The American Society for Aesthetics was founded

in 1942 to promote study, research, discussion, and publication in aesthetics The Society meets annu- ally in the fall and its three regional divisions in the spring It also publishes the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism and the ASA Newsletter Both are free to members

The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism publishes current research articles, symposia, special issues, and book reviews in aesthetics and the arts The term “aesthetics,” in this connection, is understood

to include all studies of the arts and related types

of experience from a philosophic, scientific, or other theoretical standpoint The “arts” are taken

to include not only the traditional forms such as music, literature, landscape architecture, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and other visual arts, but also more recent additions such as pho- tography, film, earthworks, performance and con- ceptual art, the crafts and decorative arts, contem- porary technical innovations, and other cultural practices, including work and activities in the field

of popular culture
