Bethany Henning

Dewey and the Aesthetic Unconscious

The Vital Depths of Experience

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Bethany Henning argues that within the naturalistic strains of American philosophy, there is an implicit theory of the unconscious that finds its fullest expression within the work of John Dewey. Although the unconscious contributes to all experience, it plays a principal role in experiences that are emphatically aesthetic.
