예술교육에서의 예술과 도덕의 관계에 대한 미학적 탐구- 듀이와 도이치의 미학적 탐구를 중심으로 -

Abstract

The way of thinking that beauty and goodness are one has been lasted throughout the East and the West. In the West, as shown in the man called ‘Calokagatia,’ aesthetics of ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle consider that good action is as same as beautiful action. This idea also can be found in Shiller’s concept of ’Beautiful spirit’. The same may be said of the East. Confucianism explains that music is an instrument for practicing courtesy and the man armed with courtesy is tend to perform a good behavior.Considering that art education is aimed at a man practicing goodness, Art education theory should be developed through interdisciplinary study between aesthetics and ethics. In this thesis, we will discuss the relation between art and morality focused on the aesthetic theory of J. Dewey and E. Deutsch. Teaching is not only intellectual but also ethical work. If it is to be done well, It requires the full attention of thoughtful and caring people. In other words, teachers should pay attention to their attitude-wide awake, inquiring, critical-when they treat their students.
