Aesthetic Education, written by Charles Degarmo and first published in 1913, is a comprehensive exploration of the role of aesthetics in education. The book argues that aesthetics, or the study of beauty and art, is essential to a well-rounded education and should be integrated into all aspects of the curriculum. Degarmo begins by discussing the history and philosophy of aesthetics, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece and exploring its various interpretations throughout history. He then delves into the practical applications of aesthetics in education, discussing topics such as the role of art in developing moral character, the benefits of studying music and literature, and the importance of cultivating a sense of beauty in students.Throughout the book, Degarmo emphasizes the importance of engaging students' emotions and imaginations in the learning process, arguing that this is essential to creating a meaningful and transformative educational experience. He also stresses the need for teachers to be well-versed in the arts themselves, in order to effectively guide students in their own artistic explorations.Overall, Aesthetic Education is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the role of aesthetics in education, and remains a valuable resource for educators and scholars interested in this topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
