Editorial Review Product Description Analyzing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.

Important Book
Another Dewey classic - wait, two classics in one!
Ivory tower crackpot theories.
What to teach
Why going to school ? Originally fromCameroon, I've had the opportunity to explore three educational systemsfrom different cultural influence each. It was an advantage that surelyopened my mind to different perspectives by interacting with differentcultures in different social contexts, but especially carried me out torealize how the so called "education" - in general, but in highschool in particular - shortly addresses fundamental needs as muchindividually as socialy, since people tend to ignore its essentialfunctions or misunderstand the concepts it involves, precisely becausetheir implications are so general that they shouldn't be analyzed inseparated contexts, school and society, as far as they are, with respect,one a component of the other but the other being the expression of thefirst one in a long term. By observing both components as a whole, Deweyproposes a model that doesn't necessarily apply to actual issues or givefactual solutions, but at least redefines "education" byintegrating inherent aspects to human nature in its double acception - as agroup as much as an individual -, which reveals the values traditionaleducation still mostly hides. I delibarately took the initiative ofquestion what high school didn't explained to me, and probably often forgetto ask itself. In what ways education serves people in the aim of bloomingpersonally and socially ? which role schools are therefore supposed to playand in which patterns ? The questions are so simple that the answers appearobvious. In fact, they should be when the problematic is carefully put.this is the reason most people can get it wrong and sometimes don't eventry to question what is already established. Dewey was an excellentstarting point for my research and I recommend it to EVERYONE, notespecially those concerned with education because it shouldn't be a matterof a restricted segment of people. Education is everywhere. Sorry for myenglish :) ... Read more |

Freedom in Democracy Rejects Absolutism & Ulitmate Ends
A very helpful work.
Good but Remarkably Short Scope. From here, he takes the above theory to a few problems in political debate. Do capitialism and democracy HAVE to be exlusive and is there any good reason they can't function seperately? Does Marxism undermine itself by acknowledging environmental factors to the elimination of human autonomy? If, as Marxism holds, that environment is ALL there is, how can someone be class-conscious- isn't that an autonomous actiion? Dewey's point in asking these questions is to tell us that the answers (if there are any) are not as easy as poltical science might have us believe. For every decision (capitalism, totalitarianism, welfare state etc.) there are trade offs. Here's where Dewey brings in science. |

The book is made up of the Gifford Lectures delivered AprilMay 1929 at the University of Edinburgh. Writing to Sidney Hook, Dewey described this work as a criticism of philosophy as attempting to attain theoretical certainty.” In the Philosophical Review Max C.

Editorial Review Product Description A collection of all of Dewey’s writings for 1920 with the exception of Letters from China and Japan. A Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions textual edition. The nineteen items collected here, including his major work, Reconstruction in Philosophy, evolved in the main from Dewey’s travel, touring, lecturing, and teaching in Japan and China. Ralph Ross notes in his Introduction to this volume that Reconstruction in Philosophy is a radical book . . . a pugnacious book by a gentle man.” It is in this book that Dewey summarizes his version of pragmatism, then called Instrumentalism. For Dewey, the pragmatist, it was people acting on the strength of intelligence modeled on science who could find true ideas, ones we can assimilate, validate, corroborate, and verify.” Optimism pervades Reconstruction of Philosophy; in keeping with Dewey’s world of open possibilities, the book recognizes that the observation and thought of human striving can make the difference between despair and affirmation of life. The seven essays on Chinese politics and social tradition that Dewey sent back from the Orient exhibit both the liveliness and the sensitive power of an insightful mind. Set against a backdrop of Japanese hegemony in China, the last days of Manchu imperialism, Europe’s carving of China into concessions, and China’s subsequent refusal to accept the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the essays were startlingly relevant in this time of Eastern turbulence and change. At the National University of Peking, Dewey delivered a series of lectures on Three Contemporary Philosophers: William James, Henri Bergson, and Bertrand Russell.” The James and Bergson lectures are published for the first time in this volume. Dewey chose these philosophers, according to Ralph Ross, because he was trying to show his oriental audience what he believed and hoped about man and society and was talking about those fellow philosophers who shared the same beliefs and hopes.” |

Dewey's most thorough and captivating work.
Experience Recovered! An Embodied, Naturalistic, Empiricism Dewey uses this conceptof experience to provide a theory he calls "naturalisticempiricism"; a pragmatic theory of knowledge that provides a basis forhis later inquiries into knowledge and human experience. His treatment ofthe ontogeny of knowledge provides a compelling, thoroughly materialistic,and Darwinian account of the development of thinking in the human animalwithout lapsing into an isolating solipsism or into a fanciful dualism. Theprevalence of Hegelian philosophy in Dewey's earlier philosophic work andhis training as a psychologist provide him with an eye for solidmethodology, a powerful sense of the roleof social structure in humanthinking, and a talent for synthesis. Experience and Nature is thereforea profoundly social text as well, where Dewey explores the role that socialexperience plays in the development of knowledge and communication as humanattributes, or more to the point, as human activities. I have found thisbook to be a profound antidote to the despair and irony in writers such asKierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre, and Rorty; the meaning and scope ofexistence is redeemed on an extremely individual level through communityand relationships. This book is highly recommended for those with an eyefor postmodern philosophy and theories of embodiment (Dewey is frequentlycompared to Maurice Merleau-Ponty), as it shares much with the hermeneutictradition, while remaining grounded in a very scientific perspective. ...
