The CRC research project Different Aesthetics aims to change perspectives in aesthetic discussions by directing attention to the 2000-year history of European art and culture before the 18th century. This volume explains the benefit of this approach using contributions that range from the philologies and art history to archeology and and musicology, as well as history, theology, and the digital humanities.
