"This conception of mind as an isolated being underlies the conception that esthetic experience is merely something “in mind,’ and strengthens the conception which isolates the esthetic from those modes of experience in which the body is actively engaged with the things of nature and life. It takes art out of the province of the live
creature."
John Dewey, Art as Experience, p.264
