Art as Experience evolved from John Dewey’s Willam James Lectures, delivered at Harvard University from February to May 1931.

Dewey proposes that everyday experience offers insight into the aesthetic experience.

John Dewey (1859-1952) was an American psychologist, philosopher, educator, social critic and political activist. He was outspoken on education, domestic and international politics, and numerous social movements. Among the many concerns that attracted Dewey's support were women's suffrage, progressive education, educator's rights, the Humanistic movement, and world peace.
