In Dewey's terms, aesthetics is \"experience in its integrity.\" Its personal ground is in \"the heart,\" which is the dispositional ground formed by genetic, cultural, and personal historical factors by which we are spontaneously moved and, in turn, are inclined to move, both practically and theoretically, in certain directions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Prepared for use by the student as well as the philosopher, \u003cem\u003ePlacing Aesthetics\u003c\/em\u003e aims to recover the fullness of humanness within a sense of the fullness of encompassing Being. It attempts to overcome the splitting of thought, even in philosophy, into exclusive specializations and the fracturing of life itself into theoretical, practical, and emotive dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert E.
