John Dewey, Albert Barnes, and the Continuity of Art and Life is a carefully-researched book offering a dynamic and expansive Deweyan vision for the arts and education by examining the influence of Barnes on Dewey.

Recenzje

"Granger clarifies, advances, and augments a broad and open-ended 'Deweyan vision of the arts and education.' Enlivened on almost every page by concrete historical and contemporary examples drawn from the arts, Granger's highly readable book is essential for democratic educators, administrators, and policymakers who reject the zombie idea that 'real' academic work is inherently separate from aesthetic consummations." -Steven Fesmire, Professor of Philosophy, Radford University; President of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy; Author of John Dewey and Moral Imagination: Pragmatism in Ethics
