THE BRITISH SOCIETY OF AESTHETICS SIR,- We should be obliged
if you would draw the attention of your readers to a proposal to form a ' British Society of Aesthetics. The purpose of the Society is to promote study, research, discussion and publication in aesthetics--the term 'aesthetics' in this connection being understood to include all studies of the arts and related types of experience from a philosophical, scientific, or other theoretical stand- point, including those of psychology, ,sociology, anthropology, cultural history, art criticism and education. It is hoped that our first appearance as national society will be at the International Congress of Aesthetics which takes place in Athens this Sep- tember. Those of your readers who are interested should write to the Hon. Secretary, c/o Department of Philosophy, Birkbeck College. Mulct Street, WO;
Yours faithfully,
