In recent years aesthetics has grown into a rich and varied discipline. Its scope has widened to embrace ethical, social, religious, environmental, and cultural concerns.
As international communication increases through more frequent congresses and electronic communication, varied traditions have joined with its historically interdisciplinary character, making aesthetics a focal center of diverse and multiple interests.
These need a forum that is universal and inclusive, easy to access, and unhampered by financial, political, and institutional barriers.
An on-line publication offers an ideal opportunity for advancing these purposes and The Book Of Evidence hopes to provide that forum.
