Abstract

Important work on the relation of pragmatic ethics and aesthetics, such as Steven Fesmire's _John Dewey and Moral Imagination: Pragmatism in Ethics,_ misses an important feature of the entire issue unless non-mimetic representation is invoked to explain the relation between what Dewey would call the "problem" and the "solution" presented in experience. This cannot be elaborated within a Rortyan neo-pragmatism, nor can it be addressed without attending to the "spiritual" aspect of moral agency
