Aesthetic Experience, Hermeneutics, and Curriculum

Abstract

AESTHETIC EXPERIENCE, HERMENEUTICS, AND CURRICULUM Over the years there have been many attempts to develop sound reasons for including the arts in education. In the more recent attempts, such as those by the developers of Discipline Based Arts Education, Maxine Greene’s work in a phenomenological, existentialist approach, Sheryle Bergmann-Drewe’s work on reasoning, and Donald Arnstine’s response to Drewe, the focus has been on knowledge enhancement. In this essay I am going to take issue with this approach and offer another way to value the arts for education. To begin with I will review Drewe’s and Arnstine’s work as good examples of the knowledge approach.
