Overview
The Arthur Danto/American Society for Aesthetics Prize honors exceptional work in aesthetics by members of both the American Philosophical Association (APA) and the American Society for Aesthetics (ASA). Nominees can submit their best paper or essay published in a refereed journal or collection. The award includes a $1,000 prize and a symposium at the APA Eastern Division meeting, highlighting the winner's work and fostering academic discourse.
NOTE: Nominations must be from a person who is a member of both the APA and the ASA at the time of nomination. Each such person may nominate only one paper per year.
The Arthur Danto/American Society for Aesthetics Prize will be awarded to a member of the APA and the ASA for the best paper in the field of aesthetics, broadly understood, in a refereed journal, or an original book chapter or original essay published in a collection with a multiplicity of contributors. This prize is in honor of the late Arthur Danto, a past president of the APA Eastern Division.
The winner receives a $1,000 prize. In addition, a symposium in honor of the recipient of the prize is held at the APA Eastern Division meeting, normally the next such meeting following the selection of the prize winner. The symposium will normally include a summary of the selected paper by the award winner, followed by panelists commenting upon the ideas of the selected paper, then followed by a response from the award winner. The winner will be presented with the award check during the annual prize reception at the Eastern Division meeting.
