| Abstract: | The justifications that are usually offered - in England - for teaching the arts are either in terms of the development of "creativity" or the possibility of self expression, or, in terms of moral and social education. I examine both types of claim and reject them. In their place I offer justifications in terms of intrinsic value and enculturisation |
