This is a plug for the American Society for Aesthetics Eastern Division Meeting (April 4-5, 2008). The Keynote Speaker is Jenefer Robinson; Kwame Anthony Appiah will be delivering the Monroe Beardsley Lecture. Always held in Philly, this is a particularly interesting annual aesthetics conference, with rich Q&A sessions, due in part to the abundance of talented philosophers of art (both faculty and grad students) at Temple. There is also a burgeoning interest in aesthetics at nearby Rowan University. I will be presenting a paper entitled, "A Phenomenological Criticism of D. Raffman's Account of Musical Nuance."
