摘要：In the year 2018 a wonderful book,dedicated to aesthetic and music education,was issued by the prestigious Peter Lang publishing house. The book underlines the importance of bringing art closer to nonartistic areas of life through aesthetic functions and aesthetic experiencing of life. The idea of the collective monograph has its origins in the pragmatic attitudes in which the aesthetic is viewed as the key principal for much broader areas of life than the purely artistic (J. Dewey,R. Schusterman,R. Rorty etc.). Concepts such as community,experience,norms,embedding an experience in physical movement (the importance of rhythm as a connecting element) are of relevance. Refuting the traditional opposition between the aesthetic and the practical,to emancipate the aesthetic falls within the realms of integrative arts education,where art functions interweave with other forms of experience (Dewey,1934). The most influential American social philosopher and reformer of pedagogy,John Dewey,in his works,pointed to the importance of arts education not only for future artists and professionals,but also for all children. Because of the social function of art,arts education helps them integrate into society,participate in creation and acceptance of its values. He emphasizes that schools should be active in those types of activities that reflect the life of the wider population and spread it through the spirit of art,history,and science. Based on the liberaldemocratic viewpoint,Dewey's public (common) musical values should be shared in society as social and musical experiences.
