Description: The aim of this thesis is two-fold: To explore education through the lens of aesthetics and critical theory, and to bring forth new ways of approaching and understanding the arts and philosophy. By embracing unconventional models of though and models of multiplicity and expression, we can gain access to diverse and rich knowledge that compliments and expands out understanding of ourselves and reality. These are qualities of life that can only be understood through aesthetic contemplation. To me, nothing is more beautiful or profound than the creation of new ideas, whether in the form of science or art, as progress is about new inventions. After all, not every idea is reducible to a mathematical quantification. Using aesthetics, philosophical and critical theory, I will explore the implications of this approach and its meaning for the individual and society.
