My dissertation project is an examination of aesthetic thought of Chinese pre-Qin Confucians with a focus on the idea of Yue Jiao (Music Education). Confucius, the founder of the Confucian School is regarded as the first educational philosopher in Chinese history both chronologically and in importance. A central theme in his aesthetics is that the final perfection of one's personhood as an integrated whole is accomplished by the study of music. In this project, I will analyze key aspects in Confucian notion of music and education, and the links between those two and harmonized social relations. In my project, I propose to argue that education of a personhood as a whole is central to be a human being in today's world. I suggest that aesthetic education, music education in particular, has an indispensible role in developing a harmonious balance between our rational intelligence and emotional sensibilities. Music education provides an ideal for living in the world today when unity is achieved without eliminating diversities.
