Examining select high points in the speculative tradition from
Plato and Aristotle through the Middle Ages and German tradition to
Dewey and Heidegger, Placing Aesthetics seeks to locate the
aesthetic concern within the larger framework of each thinker's
philosophy. In Professor Robert Wood's study, aesthetics is not
peripheral but rather central to the speculative tradition and to
human existence as such. In Dewey's terms, aesthetics is
\u201cexperience in its integrity.\u201d Its personal ground is in
\u201cthe heart,\u201d which is the dispositional ground formed by
genetic, cultural , and personal historical factors by which we are
spontaneously moved and, in turn, are inclined to move, both
practically and theoretically, in certain directions. Prepared for
use by the student as well as the philosopher, Placing Aesthetics
aims to recover the fullness of humanness within a sense of the
fullness of encompassing Being. It attempts to overcome the
splitting of thought, even in philosophy, into exclusive
specializations and the fracturing of life itself into theoretical,
practical, and emotive dimensions.
