In early June we met at Darwin College, Cambridge, to hear papers and exchange ideas on research topics including \u201cLogical atomism in Plato and Wittgenstein\u201d, \u201cBody enhancement and the essence of sport\u201d, \u201cWhat we learn from literature\u201d, \u201cBeauty in musical aesthetics\u201c, and \u201cEmotion in art\u201d.
