 Contemporary American aesthetician Arnold Berleant began his career (1970) in a way that was much more sympathetic to Dewey. He has, in his many writings, developed themes similar to Dewey’s, for example, in his concepts of the “aesthetic field” and “engagement” (1970; 1991). His work on the aesthetics of the environment had a strong influence on the recently emergent field of everyday aesthetics which we will discuss below.
