shusterman advocates a definition of art; as experience that is influenced by dewey's definition with significant changes. while he accepts the majority of the elements central to the dewey's conception of this experience (e.g., that it cannot be reduced to the private mental world of the subject being rather an interaction between the subject and the object), there are some he finds questionable (e.g. dewey's insistence on the unity and coherence of aesthetic experience which shusterman would like to supplement with aesthetics of rupture and fragmentation).
