""A Critique of John Dewey's Theory of Fine Art in the Light of the Principles of Thomism"" is a book written by Anne Mary Tamme. The book provides a critical analysis of the theory of fine art proposed by John Dewey, a prominent American philosopher and educator, in the light of the principles of Thomism, a philosophical school based on the ideas of St. Thomas Aquinas.The book explores Dewey's ideas on the nature and purpose of art, as well as his views on the role of the artist and the audience in the creation and appreciation of art. Tamme examines these ideas in relation to the principles of Thomism, which emphasizes the importance of the transcendent and the spiritual in art.Through her analysis, Tamme argues that Dewey's theory of fine art is flawed and incomplete, as it fails to fully account for the spiritual dimension of art and the role of the artist as a mediator between the material and the spiritual realms. She suggests that a more holistic approach, drawing on the insights of Thomism, can provide a richer and more meaningful understanding of the nature and purpose of art.Overall, ""A Critique of John Dewey's Theory of Fine Art in the Light of the Principles of Thomism"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on the philosophy of art. It will be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy, art, and aesthetics, as well as anyone interested in exploring the deeper meaning and significance of art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
