John Dewey's Theory of Art, Experience, and Nature: The Horizons of Feeling - SUNY series in Philosophy

"This book puts Dewey's aesthetics and his general philosophical position in a refreshing perspective. It sustains a sensitive account of Dewey's conception of meaning and shows how some critics of the relation of aesthetics to the whole of his philosophy have overlooked the way aesthetic meaning was central to Dewey's thought before and after he distanced himself from idealism. The author knows his way inside Dewey's philosophy, and he has done an excellent job of explaining Dewey" -- Carl R. Hausman
