Deneyim Olarak Sanat

by John Dewey

Paperback. 12,50 / 19,50 cm. in Turkish. 464 p. Translated by Nur Küçük Edited by Aysun Aydin Gerçek sanat eseri organizmaya ve çevreye ait kosullarin ve enerjilerin etkilesiminden bütünlüklü bir deneyim insa etmektir. Deneyim, organizmanin "seyler dünyasi"nda mücadele ve basarilariyla tatmin olmasi demektir, bu baglamda tohum hâlindeki sanattir. Deneyim Olarak Sanat, öncelikle deneyimin tamamlanmisligini ifade eden, deneyimi kültür ve anlamla özdeslestiren ve insanin dünya ile iliskisindeki tüm deneyim olanaklarini kapsayan estetik deneyim kavraminin derinlemesine bir degerlendirmesini sunar. Öte yandan, estetik deneyimin bu çok boyutlu ele alinisi özgün bir sanat tanimi ve estetik kuram ortaya koyar. Bu baglamda, bu eser hem düsünürün deneyim metafiziginin anlasilmasi hem de bu merkezi kavram temelinde düsünürün sanat ve sanat eseri üzerine görüslerinin anlasilmasi açisindan çok önemlidir. Sanat, insanin dünya ile dolayimsiz etkilesiminin, dünya ile iç içe geçmisliginin ve bu etkilesimde ortaya çikan anlam ve degerin yegâne ifadesi ve disavurumudur. Sanat bu iç içe geçmislik içinde etkilesimin tüm ögelerini degistirir, dönüstürür, yeniden insa eder ve sürekli olarak yaratir. Deneyim Olarak Sanat, tam da estetik deneyim ve sanat iliskisinin süreklilik içinde yeniden insa ve ifade olusuna odaklaniyor.

About the author

John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform. Dewey, along with Charles Sanders Peirce and William James, is recognized as one of the founders of the philosophy of pragmatism and of functional psychology. He was a major representative of the progressive and progressive populist philosophies of schooling during the first half of the 20th century in the USA.

In 1859, educator and philosopher John Dewey was born in Burlington, Vermont. He earned his doctorate at Johns Hopkins University in 1884. After teaching philosophy at the University of Michigan, he joined the University of Chicago as head of a department in philosophy, psychology and education, influenced by Darwin, Freud and a scientific outlook. He joined the faculty of Columbia University in 1904. Dewey's special concern was reform of education. He promoted learning by doing rather than learning by rote. Dewey conducted international research on education, winning many academic honors worldwide. Of more than 40 books, many of his most influential concerned education, including My Pedagogic Creed (1897), Democracy and Education (1902) and Experience and Education (1938). He was one of the founders of the philosophy of pragmatism. A humanitarian, he was a trustee of Jane Addams' Hull House, supported labor and racial equality, and was at one time active in campaigning for a third political party. He chaired a commission convened in Mexico City in 1937 inquiring into charges made against Leon Trotsky during the Moscow trials. Raised by an evangelical mother, Dewey had rejected faith by his 30s. Although he disavowed being a "militant" atheist, when his mother complained that he should be sending his children to Sunday school, he replied that he had gone to Sunday School enough to make up for any truancy by his children. As a pragmatist, he judged ideas by the results they produced. As a philosopher, he eschewed an allegiance to fixed and changeless dogma and superstition. He belonged to humanist societies, including the American Humanist Association. D. 1952.
