Presidential Lecture - James R. Shelley 

"What Is Aesthetics?"

James Shelley is Lloyd and Sandra Nix Endowed Professor of Philosophy at Auburn University. He writes papers at the intersection of historical and theoretical aesthetics, arguing for the reduction of artistic value to aesthetic value, the irreducibility of aesthetic value, and the objectivity of aesthetic judgment.
