Dewey's Pragmatist Notion of Art in "Art as Experience"

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the aesthetics of John Dewey in light of his pragmatist philosophy, with special emphasis on Dewey’s ideas discussed in his famous book Logic, Theory of Inquiry. We analyze his views on art in close relation with his conceptions of qualitative experience and the similarities between everyday life experience and aesthetic experience. After considering certain aspects of Dewey’s critique of traditional aesthetics, the paper focuses on his rejection of the notion of “art for art’s sake” as particularly relevant when pointing out the relation between his aesthetics and his pragmatism. The paper also examines some purposes of art that Dewey mentions in his aesthetics.
