The Dutch Association of Aesthetics would like to stimulate philosophical reflection on art, and aesthetics in general. It was founded at 10 October 1997. The International Association of Empirical Aesthetics was founded in 1965 by D.E. Berlyne, Robert Frances, Carmelo Genovese, and Albert Wellek. The association is open to all who are interested in empirical studies of aesthetics and of the arts, literature, and music.
Most members are anthropologists, psychologists, semioticians, and sociologists.
However, a number are practicing artists, humanistic scholars, and philosophers who have an interest in empirical studies of the arts. The Sydney Society of Literature and Aesthetics is established to promote the study of the arts. While based in Sydney, its membership is open to those interested from all states in Australia as well as overseas. All rights reserved.
