Cognitive redirection(as what pragmatist aesthetics doesn't ground value in): Deliberately steering your thoughts or mental focus in a particular direction, often to achieve a goal or follow a rule.
Dewey(the philosopher whose ideas are being discussed): John Dewey was an American philosopher (1859-1952) who believed that philosophy should focus on real human experiences and solving practical problems, rather than abstract theories disconnected from life.
Normative hierarchy(as a concept underlying attention): A ranking system that tells us what we *should* value or pay attention to—like saying some things are more important or worthy than others.
Pragmatist aesthetics(as Dewey's philosophical approach): A way of thinking about art that judges what makes art 'good' based on what actually works and matters to real people experiencing it, rather than abstract rules or theories.
