Published quarterly by the British Society of Aesthetics, the PJA is an international forum for the highest quality postgraduate research in aesthetics. In this issue:

- Berys Gaut, new President of the British Society of Aesthetics, is interviewed by Chris Woerner. They discuss everything from how to pronounce Professor Gaut's name to his landmark work on creativity, art and ethics and how philosophy should be taught in schools.

- In 'Heidegger and the Problem of the Sublime', Lewis Coyne attempts to explain Heidegger's neglect of the sublime and suggests how it could nonetheless be incorporated into the early Heidegger's ontology.

- 'Myrmecochory Occurs' discusses the role of viewer-object relations in the light of some

- Finally, Dharmender Singh Dillon's 'Dave Chappelle's Block Party' examines the revolutionary potential of the popular art of marginalised communities, as exhibited in Chappelle's film.


Submissions are open for articles, interviews and book reviews to be published in the next issue, please see the website for details.
