Agustin Vicente was missing from the photo, but thanks to Rodrigo Díaz, and in keeping with a long and royal British tradition, the official photo has now been retouched to correct this error.

Great opportunity in empirical aesthetics to work with fabulous people!

Check out this series of interviews with experimental philosophers, beginning with Josh Knobe!

I'm very sad to hear about David Konstan, who has died. David was very kind and encouraging to me as a PhD student. His book on Beauty is wonderful: it elucidates the ancient Greek conception of beauty, among other things. Well worth reading: academic.oup.com/book/9691

I didn’t know about the Geography of Philosophy project until now (don’t know how), but it’s just so cool. 😎 Check it and follow them for updates on their work.

Excited to present my paper "True Beauty" (forthcoming British Journal of Aesthetics) at the @UU_University Higher Aesthetics Seminar tomorrow (14.15-16.00 in the philosophy seminar room, Eng 2-1022). I'll be interested to get Swedish intuitions on "äkta skönhet" and "äkta täckhet". Come along!

Excited to be presenting my paper ‘Freedom, Harmony, & Moral Beauty’ (forthcoming @PhilosophersIm1) at the Uppsala-Auburn Aesthetics workshop. Second presentation in beautiful Uppsala this week 😮‍💨 I’ll be talking about Schiller and x-phi—unlikely bed fellows…

🥰 Thank you so much!

If you ask people a philosophical question, you won’t find that they all give the same answer. You’ll find different people giving different answers. Why is that? In this paper (in press at Ergo), I argue for a new answer to this traditional question philpapers.org/rec/KNOCIG-2

New entry in SEP on Experimental Philosophy of Art and Aesthetics, with Elzė Sigutė Mikalonytė & Sam Liao. It provides a detailed overview of the work in this area, including how the field overlaps with empirical aesthetics & the psychology of art. Hope it's useful! plato.stanford.edu/entries/experi…

My first paper, in collaboration with aesthetics researchers from my undergraduate days, is finally published! 🥳 We tackled the “paradox of horror,” a philosophical question since 17C, using cogsci. Most people hate unpleasant art, but some love it. Why? doi.org/10.1177/027623…
