Den amerikanske filosof John Dewey (1859-1952) er en af pædagogikkens kendteste og mest indflydelsesrige tænkere.For Dewey var opdragelse og undervisning de vigtigste midler til i praksis at styrke og udvikle demokratiet som livsform, og hans pædagogiske tanker kan ses som et konsekvent resultat af hans opfattelse af mennesket og naturen som gensidigt forbundne. For at opdragelsen kan nå sine mål, må den tage udgangspunkt i den enkeltes individuelle erfaringer, samtidig med at den betoner betydningen af samarbejde.Erfaring og opdragelse bygger på en række foredrag, Dewey holdt i 1938, og har i dag status som en lille pædagogisk klassiker.

Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education is a 1916 book by John Dewey. Dewey sought to at once synthesize, criticize, and expand upon the democratic (or proto-democratic) educational philosophies of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Plato. He saw Rousseau's philosophy as overemphasizing the individual and Plato's philosophy as overemphasizing the society in which the individual lived. An important, controversial, and often cited work on public education. Dewey discusses the role of public education in a democracy and the different methods for achieving quality in education. After its initial publication, this book began a revolution in educational thinking; one that emphasized growth, experience, and activity as key elements in promoting democratic qualities in students and educators alike.

The "thought process" laid bare. One of America's greatest philosophers and educators examines the nature and process of human reasoning, intellect, and emotion. John Dewey took a common sense approach to the subject, using examples and explanations that resonate today. His pragmatism has influenced much modern philosophy and the social sciences-and in the effort he produced a timeless, captivating, and universally accessible study of the subject of human thought and logical decision-making. John Dewey (1859-1952) was a U.S. philosopher, education reformer, and psychologist, and an influential professor at the University of Michigan, University of Chicago, and Columbia University. His belief in an empirically based theory of knowledge informed much of his work on logic and philosophy, including HOW WE THINK. Dewey also explored political theory, psychology, and education in his many acclaimed books and academic articles. Part of the Classics of the Social Sciences Series from QUID PRO BOOKS.
