Abstract

John Dewey’s thought has influenced the pedagogical theories in Brazil. However, it had different interpretations in the country during the Escola Nova period. In general, these renderings discuss a learning method, and not a philosophy of education. Even, when it considers Dewey’s philosophy of education, it does not focus on its esthetics. In this article, we will present some of these interpretations and also reconstruct John Dewey’s ideas about art and esthetic experience, emphasizing his philosophy of education that is wider than a pedagogical method.
