The November 2010 issue of Hyperion: On the future of aesthetics is now on line. This edition features a special section on the work of Hungarian artist István Orosz, a painter, printmaker and filmmaker best known for his mathematically inspired graphics. The issue also features new translations of Pessoa and Ungaretti and a series of book reviews.

Hyperion is a treasure-trove of riches for the contemporary aestheticist, and this month’s offering is no exception; there is nothing like it online or in print. As editor-in-chief Mark Daniel Cohen writes in the introduction to the issue:

Aesthetics has been something of the “science” of art, in that it has inquired into what it would not judge, or, more to the point, it judged works of art as examples of something it would not think to judge — art itself, art per se. Hence, every individual judgment a non sequitur. And thus, Hyperion is dedicated to asking the unasked questions, to thinking what has been the unthinkable, to engaging the “should” factor: should art continue to exist, and why, works of art should be phenotypes of precisely what, should art be transformed into something unrecognizable, or, should it be relegated to the scrap heap of history.

The lovingly designed issue is available in both HTML and .pdf formats, and both are available here.
