Abstract

Eight essays continue the project of making the work of Baltic philosopher Sesemann (1884-1963) accessible to that part of the world that does not read Lithuanian. Many of them originally appended to the 1970 Lithuanian edition of his Aesthetics, they discuss the relation between art history and aesthetics, aesthetics, aesthetic culture and aesthetic education, physical education and aesthetic culture, protecting the culture and beauty of the past, the issue of national culture, new directions in contemporary epistemology, and a review of Nikolaj Worobiow's 1938 M. K. Ciurlionis, der litausche Maler und Musiker. An index of names is provided
