Diversity is an unavoidable aspect of twenty-first century living.
The authors in this volume engage in cross-difference conversations
with other thinkers from earlier periods and other philosophical
traditions in order to reconstruct pragmatism and cosmopolitanism
in ways that are more attuned to our lived experience of diversity.
John Dewey is considered not only as one of the founders of
pragmatism, but also as an educational classic whose approaches to
education and learning still exercise great influence on current
discourses and practices internationally. In this book, the authors
first provide an introduction to Dewey's educational theories that
is founded on a broad and comprehensive reading of his philosophy
as a whole. They discuss Dewey's path-breaking contributions by
focusing on three important paradigm shifts - namely, the cultural,
constructive, and communicative turns in twentieth-century
educational thinking. Secondly, the authors recontexualize Dewey
for a new generation who has come of age in a very different world
than that in which Dewey lived and wrote by connecting his
philosophy with six recent and influential discourses (Bauman,
Foucault, Bourdieu, Derrida, Levinas, Rorty). These serve as models
for other recontexualizations that readers might wish to carry out
for themselves.
