Democracy And Education

Democracy and Education is a book written by John Dewey, an American philosopher and education reformer. Published in 1916, the book explores the relationship between democracy and education, arguing that education is essential to the maintenance and improvement of democratic societies. Dewey asserts that education should be focused on the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, rather than simply the transmission of knowledge. He also emphasizes the importance of experiential learning and the integration of education into everyday life. The book is considered a classic in the field of education, and has had a significant influence on educational theory and practice.It is not true there is no common interest in such an organization between governed and governors. The authorities in command must make some appeal to the native activities of the subjects, must call some of their powers into play. Talleyrand said that a government could do everything with bayonets except sit on them. This cynical declaration is at least a recognition that the bond of union is not merely one of coercive force.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
