The Later Works of John Dewey, Volume 10, 1925 - 1953: 1934, Art as Experience (Collected Works of John Dewey)

Art as Experience evolved from John Dewey s Willam James Lectures, delivered at Harvard University from February to May 1931. In his Introduction, Abraham Kaplan places Dewey s philosophy of art within the context of his pragmatism. Kaplan demonstrates in Dewey s esthetic theory his traditional movement from a dualism to a monism and discusses whether Dewey s viewpoint is that of the artist, the respondent, or the critic.
