Sinossi
Pubblicata nel 1934, Arte come esperienza costituisce uno dei maggiori contributi della cultura angloamericana all'estetica del Novecento. In essa Dewey non si limita a elaborare una filosofia dell'arte come disciplina specialistica, bensì fa emergere un nuovo paradigma per l'esperienza in generale individuato nell'artisticità. Ne discende una concezione contraria a ogni isolamento dell'arte, e anzi attenta a cogliere e vagliare criticamente le sue fitte relazioni, sia con le realtà psicologiche degli individui, sia con le realtà sociali e culturali che le alimentano. Talché Dewey mette nitidamente a fuoco i cruciali motivi di crisi della cultura contemporanea, delineando l'impalcatura di un'antropologia nutrita dai frutti delle rivoluzioni artistiche primo-novecentesche. La presente edizione italiana, magistralmente curata da Giovanni Matteucci, condotta secondo criteri rigorosi, restituisce il procedere articolato della scrittura deweyana, e si avvale di esaustivi apparati critici e bibliografici che integrano l'edizione inglese più recente.

Recensioni
Are there times in your life that are dull and dreary, a mechanical, mindless shuffling from one tedious task to another? According to American philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952), such moments in anybody’s life lack aesthetic quality. He writes in Art as Experience , “The enemies of the aesthetic are Leggi tutto
The greatest book written by an American in the 20th Century. It's not just about aesthetics. He claims, in an even harder book to read, (I know, I know, but its worth the effort) Experience and Nature, that experience itself exhibits aesthetic characteristics (rhythm, flow, spatial and temporal rel Leggi tutto
Perhaps this is anachronistic in our current mash-up culture (or maybe it isn't?), but I think writers should do some reading in aesthetic theory. Dewey's book, originally delivered as a series of lectures in 1932, is one I'd recommend, either to argue with or from which to seek inspiration. I first Leggi tutto
Below is a very glowing review. It's hard for me to recommend this book more. This review is fairly overwrought, because this book has given me some incredible insights, and it's made a big impact on how I see the world. It may be better for you to just stop reading, buy a copy, and struggle through Leggi tutto
Every page is brilliance--seriously, I am not exaggerating. Dewey's insights and thoughts are as refreshing and relevant to us today as when the lecture was presented at Harvard (1932). As I read through the first few chapters, I found myself copying pages of each chapter to use in my classroom. He
Masterpiece. Thanks John Dewey for writing this book, even more because it was written in 1934. This should be obligatory read for anyone studying/researching Art Communication. Before the domain of Communication Sciences even existed, before Emotion Studies were seriously accepted by the academy, De Leggi tutto
This is the most dense book I've read so far. Every page on this book provides rich perspectives on what we perceive as art, aesthetics and experience - each of them calling for a sound discussion. I particularly enjoyed the sections where Dewey defines what an experience is and at the end goes onto Leggi tutto
ترجمهاش سختخوان و گاهی مبهم هست هر چند نویسنده سرشناس و محتوای(زبان اصلی) جذابی دارد.
