"Experience and Education" is the best concise statement on
education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be
the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century.
Written more than two decades after "Democracy and Education"
(Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in
educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey
reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience
with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his
theories had received.
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.
