During John Dewey's lifetime (1859-1952), one public opinion
poll after another revealed that he was esteemed to be one of the
ten most important thinkers in American history. His body of
thought, conventionally identified by the shorthand word
"Pragmatism," has been the distinctive American philosophy of the
last fifty years. His work on education is famous worldwide and is
still influential today, anticipating as it did the ascendance in
contemporary American pedagogy of multiculturalism and independent
thinking. His University of Chicago Laboratory School (founded in
1896) thrives still and is a model for schools worldwide,
especially in emerging democracies. But how was this lifetime of
thought enmeshed in Dewey's emotional experience, in his joys and
sorrows as son and brother, husband and father, and in his
political activism and spirituality? Acclaimed biographer Jay
Martin recaptures the unity of Dewey's life and work, tracing
important themes through the philosopher's childhood years, family
history, religious experience, and influential friendships.
Based on original sources, notably the vast collection of
unpublished papers in the Center for Dewey Studies, this book tells
the full story, for the first time, of the life and times of the
eminent American philosopher, pragmatist, education reformer, and
man of letters. In particular, "The Education of John Dewey"
highlights the importance of the women in Dewey's life, especially
his mother, wife, and daughters, but also others, including the
reformer Jane Addams and the novelist Anzia Yezierska. A fitting
tribute to a master thinker, Martin has rendered a tour de force
portrait of a philosopher and social activist in full, seamlessly
reintegrating Dewey's thought into both his personal life and the
broader historical themes of his time.
