In the name of efficiency, the practice of education has come to be
dominated by neoliberal ideology andprocedures of standardization
and quantification. Such attempts to make all aspects of practice
transparent and subject to systematic accounting lack sensitivity
to the invisible and the silent, to something in the humancondition
that cannot readily be expressed in an either-or form. Seeking
alternatives to such trends, Saito reads Dewey's idea of
progressive education through the lens of Emersonian moral
perfectionism (to borrow a term coined by Stanley Cavell). She
elucidates a spiritual and aesthetic dimension to Dewey's notion of
growth, one considerably richer than what Dewey alone presents in
his typically scientific terminology.
