The other ways of entry of aesthetic thought in Catalonia

Abstract

Several paths made the entrance of aesthetics in Catalonia. The most studied is the impact on the University through the chair of aesthetics. However, other avenues of penetration still need to be studied: the music conservatories, the royal academies (the Reial Acadèmia catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi, the Reial Acadèmia de Bones lletres de Barcelona, and the Reial Acadèmia de Ciències i Arts de Barcelona), the School of Industrial Engineers of Catalonia and the artistic circles. We note this in our contribution, and we show the most outstanding actors in these institutions

Keywords: aesthetics, Catalan philosophy, art, royal academies, artistic circles.
