L'art comme expérience

Author(s): John Dewey
Date: 2010
Description:
John Dewey (1859-1952) is one of the pillars of "pragmatism". At the center of this tradition is inquiry, that is, the conviction that no question is a priori foreign to discussion and rational justification. Dewey has taken this notion of investigation furthest: in his view, there is no essential difference between the questions posed by ethical, moral or aesthetic choices and those that have a more directly cognitive meaning and scope. Thus he approaches moral and aesthetic questions in a spirit of experimentation - which contrasts sharply with the way in which philosophy usually approaches them, privileging either subjectivity and moral life, or social and institutional conditions. In Art as Experience, Dewey's concern is the education of the ordinary man. He develops a vision of art in a democratic society, freeing anyone from the intimidating myths that stand in the way of artistic experience.
