The Training Of Thought

""The Training of Thought"" is a philosophical work by John Dewey, originally published in 1910. In this book, Dewey argues that the way we think and reason is not innate, but rather can be trained and developed through education. He believes that the traditional methods of teaching, which focus on memorization and rote learning, do not effectively develop critical thinking skills. Dewey proposes a new approach to education that emphasizes active learning, problem-solving, and experimentation. He argues that students should be encouraged to think for themselves, to ask questions, and to explore their own ideas. This approach, he believes, will lead to a more engaged and creative society, where individuals are better equipped to deal with the challenges of modern life.Throughout the book, Dewey draws on examples from history, science, and everyday life to illustrate his points. He also discusses the role of the teacher in this new approach to education, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and dialogue between students and teachers.Overall, ""The Training of Thought"" is a thought-provoking work that challenges traditional ideas about education and offers a new vision for how we can develop critical thinking skills in ourselves and in future generations.THIS 74 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: How We Think, by John Dewey.
