I am considering getting into aesthetics as it is one of my modules for next year (I'm studying BA Philosophy). I am looking for recommendations and suggestions for readings over the summer to prepare myself, whether that be introductory texts, study guides or individual texts of philosophers.
Many thanks,

The Oxford Handbook of Aesthetics.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-Handboo ... 0199279454
Not quite introductory text book, but I find it good for wide range of aesthetic topics general reading.

Pickup a copy of John Dewey's "ART AS EXPERIENCE." A treasure!!
