Böcker av John Dewey

In this landmark work on public education, Dewey discusses methods of providing quality public education in a democratic society. First published close to 90 years ago, it sounded the call for a revolution in education, stressing growth, experience, and activity as factors that promote a democratic character in students.

One of Americas greatest philosophers outlines a faith that is not confined to sect, class, or race. Dr. Dewey calls for the emancipation of the true religious quality from the heritage of dogmatism and supernaturalism that characterizes historical religions. He describes a positive, practical, and dynamic faith, verified and supported by the intellect and evolving with the progress of social and scientific knowledge.The pure distillation of the thought of a great mind on the great subject of religion.John Haynes Holmes, New York Herald Tribune

Includes notes on sources and editions and an editor's introduction.

An anthology that presents John Dewey's major political writings, which display Dewey's philosophical method, his controversial views on war and education, his essential contributions to democratic theory, and his distinctive brand of progressive political ideology.

The twentieth century witnessed the blossoming of Western culture including communications and transportation systems, and educational, agricultural and medical advances. This book argues that humankind could keep a firm hold on its destiny only if the critical intelligence of scientific method and its democratic counterpart were promoted.

This edition brings Dewey's educational theory into sharp focus, framing his two classic works by frank assessments, past and present, of the practical applications of Dewey's ideas. In addition to a substantial introduction in which Philip W. Jackson explains why more of Dewey's ideas haven't been put into practice, this edition restores a "lost" chapter, dropped from the book by Dewey in 1915.

Addresses the fear that personal creative potential will be trampled by assembly-line monotony, political bureaucracy, and an industrialised culture of uniformity. This book argues that individualism has in fact been offered a higher plane of technological development upon which to grow, mature, and redefine itself.

Focuses on the importance of critical thinking and the vital role education should play. This work argues that the educator's fundamental role is to train us to think well.
