posted in: Event

Saturday, 15 March, 2014, 1:30pm

How do people use language to communicate their aesthetic judgments to one another? What can philosophers learn from analyzing the language used to communicate aesthetic judgments? This workshop brings together a linguist and a philosopher to discuss the
nature and significance of the language of aesthetics.
