The MTA Aesthetics Reading Group is devoted to reading and discussing papers, chapters, themes, and topics pertaining to aesthetics and the philosophy of art. All readings, historical or contemporary are decided by the group. Each meeting begins with a volunteer giving a short presentation of the chosen reading, proceeding with an open discussion. We meet on Fridays, twice per month, at 15.00 in room 026 in Úri u. 53 of the Institute of Philosophy.

All students and faculty members are welcome.
