This is an argument for the need to reconsider the role and the nature of arts education so that creativity is fostered and that education as a whole is liberated from a narrow focus shaped by the market economy and the ironic postmodernist sensibility. Peter Abbs calls for education to become an end in itself, as opposed to the means to an end, and for a place to be found in contemporary education for the spiritual, the aesthetic and the ethical.
