"For him (John Dewey), aesthetic experience is rooted in the sensate human body and its interactions with the natural and social environment in the deepest neurobiological sense. He differentiates between aesthetic experience, which is emotionally and physiologically grounded, and the intellect, which is abstract, mental and separated from the more humane life of feeling."
Joan Vastokas, Beyond the Artefact: Native Art as Performance (1992)
