Beschreibung

John Dewey's Democracy and Education remains one of the clearest and most influential arguments for education as a living social process rather than a mechanical transfer of information. Dewey presents the school as a democratic community in miniature, a place where habits of inquiry, cooperation, judgement, and citizenship are formed through experience. Education, in his view, is not preparation for life at some later date; it is part of life itself, inseparable from social growth, practical intelligence, and democratic participation.
Dewey develops a broad philosophy of education through discussions of experience, communication, discipline, curriculum, work, play, science, morality, vocation, and social purpose. Against rigid models of passive instruction, he argues for learning as an active process rooted in problem-solving, shared life, and the relation between individual development and social continuity. Originally published in 1916, the book remains central to progressive education, educational theory, pragmatist philosophy, democratic thought, curriculum studies, and debates over the civic purpose of schooling.

Über den Autor

John Dewey (1859-1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, educator, and public intellectual whose work helped define pragmatism, progressive education, and modern democratic social thought. A major figure in American philosophy, Dewey argued that knowledge arises through experience, inquiry, experimentation, and practical engagement with the world. His work rejected static models of learning and treated thought as an active instrument for solving problems, forming judgement, and improving common [...] taught at several major institutions, including the University of Chicago and Columbia University, and wrote widely on education, ethics, democracy, psychology, aesthetics, and social reform. His major works include Democracy and Education, Experience and Nature, The Public and Its Problems, Art as Experience, and Experience and Education. Among educators, he remains especially important for his insistence that schools are social institutions, that learning must be connected to experience, and that education has a central role in sustaining democratic culture.
