Aesthetic experience has had a long and contentious history in
the Western intellectual tradition. Following Kant and Hegel, a
human's interaction with nature or art frequently has been
conceptualized as separate from issues of practical activity or
moral value. This book examines how art can be seen as a way of
moral cultivation. Scott Stroud uses the thought of the American
pragmatist John Dewey to argue that art and the aesthetic have a
close connection to morality. Dewey gives us a way to
reconceptualize our ideas of ends, means, and experience so as to
locate the moral value of aesthetic experience in the experience of
absorption itself, as well as in the experience of reflective
attention evoked by an art object.
