This presentation attempts to contribute the nature and scope of Dewey’s aesthetic, through a comparative methodology, which brings Deweyan notion of aesthetic experience into dialogue with the concept of harmony that Confucian philosophy suggests. Thus, I will briefly explore this dialogue in two phases: firstly, I consider the resonances between Dewey’s emergentism and what Roger Ames and David Hall names Confucian ontology of events ; secondly, I try to clarify the notion of experience and dào (道), from Deweyan and Confucian thought, by means of a comparative analysis.
