Hello Aesthetics People! I’ve launched the History of Aesthetics Project, which you can read more about at this link. Before jumping into the volcano, I thought it might be worth exploring (and advocating for) why learning the history of aesthetics (and philosophy) is worthwhile. After all, we probably don’t care how surgeons performed open heart surgery 50 years ago, we want the most current versions of procedures of this kind. (By the way, did you know the first successful open heart surgery was performed by an African-American surgeon named Daniel Hale Williams? I just learned that.)
