| Sumario: | Classical pragmatist aesthetics, as expressed in the work of John Dewey, particularly in his book Art as Experience (1934), has been frequently analyzed due to its focus on themes such as aesthetic experience, art, community, and democracy. However, these concepts are not exclusive to Dewey’s aesthetic production and can also be identified in the works of other classical pragmatist thinkers. The aim of this research is to broaden the historical perspective by highlighting how these themes are manifested in the works of three lesser-known pragmatist philosophers: George H. Mead (1863-1931), James H. Tufts (1862-1942), and Jane Addams (1860-1935). These thinkers anticipated Dewey's ideas by emphasizing the power of art and aesthetic experience as tools capable of generating a sense of community that contributes to the preservation of democratic life. |
