This volume of essays arose out of a research project Method in Philosophical Aesthetics: The Challenge from the Sciences generously funded by the UKs Arts and Humanities Research Council [grant number AH/G012644/1]. The project was based at the universities of Leeds and Nottingham, with conferences and workshops held at those institutions and at the Institute of Philosophy, London, where many of the chapters in this volume were. Further funding for project conferences and workshops came from the Institute of Philosophy, the Open University, the British Society of Aesthetics, the Aristotelian Society, and the Analysis Trust. We would like to express our gratitude to all those who contributed to the very lively discussions at these events, to the institutions named above, and to Andrew Hirst, Levno Plato, and Margaret Moore for contributions to many aspects of the project. We also extend our thanks to Ali Kay and to the staff at Oxford University Press (and Peter Momtchiloff in particular) for their assistance in making this volume a reality. Finally, we offer thanks to the contributors to this volume for allowing us to publish their work.
