Scope and Goals

The current focus of the Aesthetics task force is to create a representative presence of philosophy of aesthetics on Wikipedia. Aesthetics is a large and complex field, especially since the boom of works in the 20th century. The vast amount of information is too much for one or two people to handle. The coordinative effort of all those willing to assist is needed.
