 Dewey’s renewed influence was due in part to increased interest in various continental aestheticians. The similarities between Dewey and Maurice Merleau-Ponty are the most striking (Ames 1953, Kestenbaum 1977), but he also shares certain features with Hans-Georg Gadamer (Gilmour 1987, who also notes important differences, and Jeannot 2001). Given his critique of capitalism, one can also find connections between his thinking and that of Marxist aestheticians, particularly Theodor Adorno (Lysaker 1998), although there are important differences, especially where Adorno advocates the autonomy of art while Dewey stresses continuity (Lewis 2005, Eldridge 2010).
