Descripción: Literature in art education suggests a link between aesthetic experiences and value awareness. The existence of such a link could have important implications for the role of art education in our schools, answering to the often expressed need to address values within our educational programs. However, most available work on this subject is theoretical, and often based on untested prior assumptions. Therefore claims to knowledge of this link cannot yet be explicitly made.
It is my contention that an inquiry into the nature of aesthetic experiences is required before subsequent claims to knowledge of its relation to value awareness can be made. I also believe that phenomenology offers the best suited method for carrying out such an investigation.
This thesis is therefore concerned with the rationale for the need of a phenomenological investigation into aesthetic experiences: justifications being provided on the basis of the available literature and the phenomenological method itself.
