The prominent educator Harry S. Broudy defines enlightened cherishing as "a love of objects and actions that by certain norms and standards are worthy of our love. It is a love that knowledge justifies." Hoping to establish the aesthetic dimension of learning as an integral part of value education, Broudy advocates a continuous program from kindergarten through high school which cultivates the imagination and makes aesthetic literacy as common as linguistic literacy.
