Based on John Dewey's lectures on esthetics, delivered as the first
William James Lecturer at Harvard in 1932, "Art as Experience" has
grown to be considered internationally as the most distinguished
work ever written by an American on the formal structure and
characteristic effects of all the arts: architecture, sculpture,
painting, music, and literature.
"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.
John Dewey's Democracy and Education addresses the challenge of
providing quality public education in a democratic society. In this
classic work Dewey calls for the complete renewal of public
education, arguing for the fusion of vocational and contemplative
studies in education and for the necessity of universal education
for the advancement of self and society. First published in 1916,
Democracy and Education is regarded as the seminal work on public
education by one of the most important scholars of the century.
More than six decades after John Dewey's death, his political
philosophy is undergoing a revival. With renewed interest in
pragmatism and its implications for democracy in an age of mass
communication, bureaucracy, and ever-increasing social
complexities, Dewey's The Public and Its Problems, first published
in 1927, remains vital to any discussion of today's political
issues. This edition of The Public and Its Problems, meticulously
annotated and interpreted with fresh insight by Melvin L. Rogers,
radically updates the previous version published by Swallow Press.
Rogers's introduction locates Dewey's work within its philosophical
and historical context and explains its key ideas for a
contemporary readership. Biographical information and a detailed
bibliography round out this definitive edition, which will be
essential to students and scholars both.
John Dewey was America’s greatest public philosopher. His work
stands out for its remarkable breadth, and his deep commitment to
democracy led him to courageous progressive stances on issues such
as war, civil liberties, and racial, class, and gender
inequalities. This book collects the clearest and most powerful of
his public writings and shows how they continue to speak to the
challenges we face today. An introductory essay and short
introductions to each of the texts discuss the current relevance
and significance of Dewey’s work and legacy. The book includes
forty-six essays on topics such as democracy in the United States,
political power, education, economic justice, science and society,
and philosophy and culture. These essays inspire optimism for the
possibility of a more humane public and political culture, in which
citizens share in the pursuit of lifelong education through
participation in democratic life. The essays in America’s Public
Philosopher reveal John Dewey as a powerful example for anyone
seeking to address a wider audience and a much-needed voice for all
readers in search of intellectual and moral leadership.
Being Three Lectures By Dewey. Supplemented By A Statement Of The
University Elementary School.
Dworkin has gathered some of Dewey's clearest and most
characteristic statements on education and set them in the stream
of American social and intellectual history. In addition, he has
indicated some of the rich literature available to those who would
probe more deeply into Dewey's ideas and the context in which they
matured.
