Aesthetic Education (1913)

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the significance of aesthetic education, the book presents the argument that art and beauty should be central to personal development and education. It is structured into two parts: the first examines historical and philosophical roots, referencing thinkers like Plato and Aristotle, while the second offers practical strategies for teachers to integrate aesthetics into their curricula. Degarmo contends that fostering an appreciation for art enhances emotional understanding and enriches the learning experience, making this work relevant for contemporary discussions on education and society.
