 rsity) will be joining us for a talk and Q&A session in our first colloquia
  event for the term.</p><p><strong>Universalism and the Problem of Aestheti
 c Diversity</strong></p><p>An influential line of thought holds that the pr
 evalence of diversity and disagreement about some set of values undermines 
 universalism or realism about those values. WE can apply this thought to mo
 rality or to aesthetics\, and make trouble (it seems) for universalists of 
 those stripes. Some diversity-and disagreement-based worries in aesthetics\
 , however\, spin this common line of thought a bit differently. The aesthet
 ic universalist is tasked not only (or even primarily) to explain the mere 
 existence or even the prevalence of aesthetic diversity and disagreement\, 
 but to explain why it seems to us that aesthetic diversity and disagreement
  are good. Another worry for universalism\, often taken to be related to th
 e value of diversity and disagreement\, is the deeply personal and even ide
 ntify-constituting nature of aesthetic judgements\, responses\, and attachm
 ents. My task will be to clarify these worries and provide a universalist a
 nd realist-friendly solution to all three.</p><p><strong>Attendance Details
