Esthetic experience as a concept in John Dewey’s art as experience : and its educational implications

• The purpose of this article is to critically explore the concept of esthetic experience as it has been discussed and developed by John Dewey in his work, Art as Experience (1934). This is done through discussing the links between Dewey’s concept of experience in general, and its epistemological basis, and his specific concept of esthetic experience. Special attention is paid to Dewey’s distinction between art as product and art as work, and what function art might have for individuals and communities according to Dewey. Finally, I discuss educational implication particularly in relation to the above mentioned distinction in Dewey’s theory of esthetic.
