CHRONIKA AISTHETIKES
The review Chronika Aisthetikes / Annales d’Esthétique / Annals for Aesthetics is the official publication of the Hellenic Society for Aesthetics. Its purpose, in parallel with the other activities of the Society, is to promote aesthetics and contribute to the study of aesthetics in Greece
Under the editorial and academic leadership of Panayotis Michelis, Chronika Aisthetikes / Annales d’Esthétique / Annals for Aesthetics became an internationally renowned academic publication of the highest quality. The first volume was published in 1962 and was favourably received internationally
Following Michelis’ death in 1969, his wife, the painter Effie Michelis, undertook to publish the review in collaboration with an Editorial Committee. After her death in 1984, the Michelis Foundation took over the review in collaboration with the Hellenic Society for Aesthetics under the supervision of a new Editorial Committee.
The aim of the review continues to be the free dissemination and exchange of ideas as well as information on international trends in the field of aesthetics, always maintaining the highest academic standards. Chronika Aisthetikes is available all over the world, from Europe and America to Japan, has received favourable reviews, and has succeeded in collaborating with noteworthy philosophers, artists, architects and art historians, both from Greece and abroad, who publish articles on aesthetics and philosophy in Greek, English, French, German or Italian. Chronika Aisthetikes has already celebrated its 50th anniversary. So far 46 volumes have been published, the last of which, issued in 2012, is a double volume (46A’ – 46B’) that commemorates the 50 years of the Hellenic Society for Aesthetics as well as of the Chronika Aisthetikes.
