Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education by Dewey
QR code
"Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education" by John Dewey is a book published in 1916. Dewey argues that education bridges the gap between immature newcomers and mature members of society. Without deliberate instruction, each generation cannot inherit the knowledge, customs, and skills necessary to sustain civilization. As societies grow more complex, this educational challenge intensifies. Though influential, Dewey's ideas were never fully adopted in American schools, and critics
question his emphasis on occupations over aesthetic origins of thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
