Physical Education, Aesthetic Education, and the Necessities of Democracy.
Overview & Synopsis
Compares the place of physical education and art education in the school curriculum. Claims that physical education deadens feelings and that a healthy democracy needs compassion, imagination, and interconnectedness. Concludes that to reassert education for democracy there needs to be a replacement of the dominant ethos of the football machines with aesthetic education. (KM)
