Description

Discover how utilitarian philosophy shaped public art education in Victorian Britain. This scholarly work by Routledge examines the pivotal role of parliament members who applied Bentham's utilitarian principles to questions of public taste and aesthetic value during the mid-nineteenth century.

Essential reading for scholars and historians studying the intersection of utilitarian thought and arts education, this book penetrates the radical democratic core of Bentham's aesthetic philosophy and its lasting influence on British cultural institutions.
