Similarly, readers interested in the relationship between education and moral cultivation will probably value his discussion of orientational meliorism. Finally, rhetoric and communications scholars should appreciate Stroud s argument for the aesthetics of everyday communication. All in all, the book is a first-rate contribution to the literature on Dewey s theory of art, art education, and his philosophy of art. </p> Eric A. Evans, <em>Education and Culture</em></p> John Dewey and the Artful Life carefully reconstructs John Dewey s account of aesthetic experience, links it to forms of moral cultivation, and extends pragmatism s meliorist project. Joining philosophy and practice, Scott Stroud both advances our understanding of pragmatist aesthetics and points us toward ways of everyday living that would adjust us better to our circumstances and work, call us to greater mindfulness about the moral possibilities of our situated presents, and help us communicate in a fuller manner aesthetically and ethically. Peter Simonson, University of Colorado at Boulder Scott Stroud s innovative investigations of the intimacies of aesthetic and moral experience invite his readers to engage a type of artful mindfulness that is at once integrative and melioristic.
