Dewey의 실용주의 미적 경험과 무용

Abstract

Aesthetics in pragmatism wishes for combination between both parties in daily life and art. Accordingly, Dewey asserted that art needs to be established completely on the basis of experience in terms of art as experience. He strived to recover continuity between art and daily life while criticizing the dualistic art theory, which had strictly distinguished art from actual life. Consequently, the theory of art in Dewey, who asserted homogeneity in artistic experience and daily experience, is giving many implications to us. From this perspective, dance always arranges the basis available for rightly understanding beauty after returning to our reality and extremely simple life. As far as offering aesthetic experience, even dance is art. Aesthetic experience, which comes to be obtained in the process of dancing, is important. Dance plays a role of purifying a human being's emotionally evil influence by offering an opportunity of aesthetic expression based on physical activity. The aesthetic experience in dance can be met and faced in daily life that social members manage together. Therefore, it is a fact that just an idea called aesthetic experience in dance needs to be made value positively in the process of managing daily life itself, in which we proceed with living through dance, namely, which we perform and experience amid cases in the world and nature, as what is significant.
