Abstract
This paper examines the pragmatist philosopher John Dewey’s idea of
philosophizing as an esthetic experience. The first section of the paper presents
Dewey’s general idea of esthetic experience as it figures in his main work on
esthetics, Art as Experience. With this general idea in place, the second section
then moves on to analyze the way in which Dewey thought of philosophizing as an
esthetic experience. Finally, the third section discusses how Dewey’s thoughts about
philosophizing as an esthetic experience can be seen as a contribution to the field
of somaesthetics.
