- Title
Experience as Medium: John Dewey and a Traditional Japanese Aesthetic.
- Authors
John, Joseph D.
- Abstract
The author reflects on John Dewey's attempt to counteract the idea that art is distinct from ordinary human experience. He stated that Dewey argues that an adequate aesthetic theory must take into account that all art comes in ordinary experience of everyday life. He stated that traditional Japanese aesthetic conceptions as articulated by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki and Leonard Koren depict how different historical experience has led to a set of aesthetic ideas that oppose the Western in several ways.
