Professors Michael Kelly and Michael Ann Holly discuss the term "aesthetics" and how the word has changed from when they were students. http://global.oup.com/academic/product/encyclopedia-of-aesthetics-9780199747108?q=Encyclopedia%20of%20Aesthetics&lang=en&cc=us The first reference of its kind, the Encyclopedia of Aesthetics was first published in 1998 in four volumes. Now expanded to include over 800 entries, the Encyclopedia surveys the full breadth of critical thought on art, culture, and society, from classical philosophy to contemporary critical theory. The second edition has been expanded to include increased coverage of international aesthetics, modern aesthetics, new media like computer art, and areas like neuroaesthetics that were not thoroughly covered in the first edition. Featuring 815 articles by distinguished scholars from many fields and countries, the Encyclopedia is a comprehensive survey of major concepts, thinkers, and debates about the meaning, uses, and value of all the arts-from painting and sculpture to literature, music, theater, dance, television, film, and popular culture. Of special interest are in-depth surveys of Western aesthetics and broad coverage of non-Western traditions and theories of art. Michael Kelly is Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He previously taught at Columbia University, while the managing editor of the Journal of Philosophy, and was also Executive Director of the American Philosophical Association. Kelly is also the author of A Hunger for Aesthetics: Enacting the Demands of Art (Columbia University Press, 2012) and Iconoclasm in Aesthetics (Cambridge University Press, 2003). Michael Ann Holly is the Starr Director Emeritus of the Research and Academic Program at the Clark Art Institute. Her books include The Melancholy Art, Past Looking: Historical Imagination and the Rhetoric of the Image, and Panofsky and the Foundations of Art History. © Oxford University Press
