Andrew Taylor recently encouraged in a comment to an entry to take a look at Joli Jensen’s Is Art Good For Us?. He had blogged on the book about two years ago.
Well I got it from my local library today and will dive in and take a read rather than writing at length today.
Based on the second page of the book, it may turn out to be an interesting read. Jensen states flat out “In the end I want to convince you that Tocqueville and Dewey have it right and everybody else has it wrong.” We shall see if she does a good job arguing her case or is overly biased.
