Description

Explore the historical connection between philosophy and art education in this scholarly work from Routledge. During the mid-nineteenth century, Britain saw a major shift as publicly funded art education emerged as a new alternative to established private institutions. This book examines how members of parliament used Bentham's utilitarian philosophy to address questions of public taste and education. This study provides a deep look into the links between art and commerce during this era. It is a highly recommended resource for scholars researching Utilitarianism or nineteenth-century art history. By looking at the democratic core of these educational shifts, the text offers a persuasive analysis of how political thought shaped the cultural landscape of the time. Whether you are a student of history or a specialist in art criticism, this book provides a well-informed perspective on the social and political forces that influenced British art schools.
