Abstract

We note with sadness the death of two highly respected colleagues, Fabian Dorsch and Peter Kivy. Fabian Dorsch, who was Associate Research Professor of Philosophy at the University of Fribourg, died unexpectedly on 21 February at the tragically early age of 42. Fabian was the driving force behind the European Society for Aesthetics, when it was founded in 2008, and was editor of Estetika: the Central European Journal of Aesthetics. An obituary notice can be found here: Peter Kivy, who was Professor Emeritus of Musicology and Philosophy at Rutgers University, and the pre-eminent philosopher of music in his generation, died on 6 May at the age of 82. The American Society of Aesthetics has published an obituary notice by Larry Temkin: An article by Jerrold Levinson in appreciation of Peter Kivy’s work in philosophy of music will appear in the next issue of the BJA.
