This paper considered the fourth viewpoint for aesthetic education: subjectiveness and wholeness. The naïve discourses concerning school education including an ideology of “active learning” with a Japanese word shutai, which was a translation of “subject” were critically investigated. The criticism referred to a philosophy and movement of education called the holistic education. The significance of passiveness or pathos of the learner’s attitude and the learner’s relationship to the world rather than the individual subjectiveness or identity was emphasized. In the final section, the practices in school education were evaluated through the significance pointed out above.
