Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology

Aims & Scope

Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology aims to encourage and promote research in aesthetics that draws inspiration from the phenomenological tradition as broadly understood, where “phenomenology” is inclusive of, but goes beyond the limits of, intellectual practices associated with the tradition and its well-known representative thinkers.

Unique in the English speaking world, the journal welcomes scholarly articles written in a phenomenological vein as well as studies of aesthetic phenomena by researchers working on phenomenology within analytic philosophy.

The field of Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology is further defined by its close connections with the arts and culture, including the reality of human experience and its environment.

Besides philosophical rigor, the journal puts emphasis on both creativity of ideas and precision of language.

It provides a platform for new innovative ideas crossing the boundaries of established philosophical methods and traditionally accepted fields of research in aesthetics.

The journal therefore also welcomes research from or between a variety of cultures worldwide.
