The Angel in the Brain: notes towards an intelligence of feeling

Summary/Abstract: Malcolm Ross proposes a creative, expressive model for cognition in the arts. He adopts Ingarden’s ‘metaphysical’ account of the meaning of art and argues for a pedagogy that engages and develops the child’s ‘intelligence of feeling’.
