| Annotation | This guest editorial looks at aesthetic and ethical approaches to dementia in which the author seeks to gain a philosophical understanding of what it means to be a person with dementia, and how we ought to stand as human beings in relation to this person. After examining dictionary definitions of aesthetics, the author looks at the aesthetic poetry of John Keats (1795-1821) and goes on to consider what literature and art can tell us about dementia. He then examines the aesthetic experience of people with dementia themselves who receive treatment and describes the person with dementia as an aesthetic being. (JL). |
