Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education By John Dewey 1916 Preface: THE following pages embody an endeavor to detect and state the ideas implied in a democratic society and to apply these ideas to the problems of the enterprise of education. John Dewey's Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education seeks to both critique and further the educational philosophies espoused by both Rousseau and Plato. Dewey found that Rousseau's ideas overemphasized the individual, whereas Plato's did the same with the society.
Democracy And Education Dewey Summary
gutenberg/ebooks/852If we were to pretend for a moment that we wanted to live in a democracy – that is, a democracy in deed rather than merely in word – what actually would that mean? The word, of course, has become so abused as to effectively mean nothing. Is there a nation on earth now that doesn’t call itself a democracy? There was a joke once that the easiest way to tell if a country was a democracy or not was to see if it had 'democracy' in its name and if it did that was a sure sign [...]
I have read and taught this book several times. I first read it in 1974 (! True! I know! I look so youthful for my age!) when I was myself preparing to become an English teacher. It was work I read in a Philosophy of Education class, where Dewey's progressivism/experimentalism was opposed to essentialism (a more conservative approach to the classroom). And here we still see Dewey read by millions of future teachers to help them envision a classroom connected to student experience, to local commu [...]
'In praise of Dewey: He knew how to protect democracy – not by rote and rules but by growing independent-minded kids. Let us not forget it' by Nicholas Tampio ::aeon/essays/dewey-knew-how Let's not forget what it is that makes America great. Or how to.
Dewey has a great deal of practical advise for educators who wish to form functioning adults capable of enjoying their lives. As a history teacher, I particularly like his comments on the necessity of teaching material with actual purpose to the students now rather than trying to convince them this stuff will be important later down the road. Let them learn the stuff that's important later, well, later. Use their interests natural to their age to push education forward rather than trying to damp [...]
A philosophical text on the relationship between democracy and education written at the turn of the last century. Dewey discusses the role of industrialization in forming our educational system, and how this cannot hold up in a democracy. We cannot build cogs for a machine if we want a real democracy, he argues, we must have thinking participants. Also, what he says applies even more today as tech moves so fast it is impossible to train children for it. What we need to teach, he agues is thinkin [...]
This is the most accessible of Dewey's books I have so far had the chance to read. His ideas are usually fascinating, but his writing style extremely boring. For example, Experience and Nature is filled with brilliant ideas, and I consider it a very important book in my personal hierarchy, but I managed to fall asleep reading it more than once. Democracy and Education is significantly different in this respect. Highly recommended for those who want to start studying Dewey.
Every educator in primary and secondary education should read this. Dewey was clearly ahead of his time. If education would implement more of his notions of educating for the whole person and connecting learning to life all students would likely be better prepared for navigating the world's complexities and solving complicated social problems.
In his 'Autobiography', Mill notes that his father recognized that the purpose of a good education was not to simply stuff the mind with facts, but to teach the mind to reason, to inquire and to question. This, it seems to me, is Dewey's ultimate point also: the point of a good education should be to create minds prepared to engage critically with the world. It hardly needs to be noted that our current system of system fails in this regard; but a critic of Dewey may, with justice, note that sinc [...]
Early in my presidential career, a colleague intent on giving me a finer appreciation of higher education recommended I read some of John Dewey's works. I dutifully purchased a couple his books. They sat on my dresser, unread, reproaching me, until this weekend, when I picked up 'Democracy and Education.' Written in 1916, Dewey's thesis speaks to the issues of career and liberal education.There is a tension between the wish to prepare students for careers and educating them in the liberal arts. [...]
Recognizing the challenges that existed in larger society with regards to capricious activities outlined by the economic / industrial need and the duality of concepts such as subject matter and method, work and play, thinking and experience, individual and the world to name a few, Dewey philosophized the reconstruction of education. Having published this book in 1916, it’s interesting to understand the socio-economic context in which he was writing. Almost a century after the industrial revolu [...]
I first read this book for a graduate course on Pragmatism. While we used two other of Dewey's books for texts, the Logic and Experience and Nature, I chose this one to read for my oral presentation. I chose this because I was sure that I could certainly poke holes in the great man's views on something as apparently subjective as education. AS it turned out, I was once again wrong.Dewey expounds on a theory of society and education which explores the possibility of searching after the perfect me [...]
This book, written in 1916, is rich, insightful, and yet completely alive today. It is not only a book on pedagody, but also on philosophy and social science. Well written, objective, offering the fundamentals of the construction and maintanance of a democratic society based of the free sharing of knowledge (as a continuous process) and thought. Not only educators and parents are strongly recommended for reading, but in fact everyone.
about MUCH more than democracy and education. still incredibly relevant and insightful, despite having been written in the early 20th century. arguably dewey's best and most sweeping work. one of the most satisfying reads i've had, fiction and nonfiction. seriously, seriously good. seriouslywey would be at my dream dinner party, no doubt.
The summaries at the end were pretty helpful, as I thought the text somewhat dense and meandering. Great ideas overall, though.
TO begin with, I am unashamedly a fan of Dewey's work. This book covers so much ground that I was a bit stunned at how far-reaching it was. Being that it is just over 100 years old at the time of this review, I can say that it was likely waaaaaaay ahead of it's time. The notion that education is an unfolding process that must incorporate the whole person, mind and body, is very different. in fat, even by contemporary standards Dewey's ideas are not the norm. There were some wrinkles. The book at [...]
I'll be honest - this book was hard to read. I found myself reading it as if I was in a lecture, sitting and taking notes along with it so that I can pay attention and understand what he was saying. I also had to find online summaries of Dewey's beliefs to figure out what he was really meaning to say. However, I still find that I enjoy a lot of Dewey's philosophies. Dewey was brave to put out such strange ideas and it is wonderful how it is changing society. However, some people do take Dewey's [...]
One of the best books I've ever read. In this classic, John Dewey lays out the principles of the philosophy behind education and its importance and impact on society. He does it so clearly and concisely that I am surprised this wasn't ever required reading for me in any college course I had ever taken. This book should be required reading for every human. Dewey's other classic, Art as Experience, is on my short list of what I need to read next.
Surprising how progressive and oddly nieve (almost offensive at times). Worth studying still.
I found the book very worthwhile. Dewey works hard to say something about education and this is not easy to do. There are a lot of general comments about political systems that seem somewhat canned but in general his discussions of experience, aim (telos) and various modes of education are all fresh and interesting.
There have been many instances where I find myself realizing that I have learned many of the ideas and concepts being discussed in this book during my years of undergraduate studies. However, by reading this I have looked into the ideas and concepts more deeply by relating them to the present system of education that my country is currently adopting. The sad thing is, the more I looked into it, the more I found the aspects of our education system that are lacking. I find that the system that we [...]
This is a great way to get to know John Dewey as an educational philosopher. What is school? What is education? What is democracy? For that matter, what is Life?School: A formal educational situation; an intentional environment that simplifies and purifies cultural transmission and creates a broad context in which diverse groups have equal opportunity to 'receive' transmission. Public school is a place where people from differing communities can look at and experience a common ground.Education: [...]
Valuable insight on the philosophy of education and on the concepts that constitute the learning experience from contextual environment to individual idiosyncrasies.
I keep hearing that the modern education system is inspired by the works of John Dewey. But speaking from my own experience very little of his thought, his substantial insights are visible in modern education. Just because some classes now have some equipment to help study, is nowhere near close enough to the spirit of what Dewey advocates in this book.The author makes a damning case against the blind regurgitation of information—both from the side of the teacher, and the side of the student†[...]
John Dewey's magnum opus challenges the education system within the United States and abroad. He offers the need for education reform: more focus on applicable and practical methods of learning as opposed to the disciplinary conventional way of 'getting knowledge.' He encourages the human being to challenge authority and think for himself using reason. One powerful question that is pervasive throughout the text is the purpose of getting knowledge and not applying to the real world and for the se [...]
One of the last books I needed to read for Modern Mrs. Darcy 2016 challenge was a book that intimated me. Well, that book happened to be Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education* by John Dewey. Over the winter break, I spent three days having an in-depth conversation with Mr. Dewey. I will not kid you, it was exhausting. After the three days, I was wiped out.Dewey has some wonderful ideas about education, but in my opinion, he makes you work for each one of them. [...]

This is the best book I've read on education. I think Dewey is absolutely brilliant. The only reason I wouldn't recommend this book for everyone is that it is very difficult to get through. Sometimes Dewey writes in a circular way, and the book being written 100 years ago doesn't help. Luckily at the end of each chapter Dewey writes a summary so you can use that to clarify his main ideas. The fundamental lesson of this book is that education is inherently social and experiential. Below is a link [...]
My booksense gave me an uneasy feeling when I thought of entering the classroom as a paid educator in the USA without reading this book, and, then when I read that some people — very proud of their negative assessments of books — voted this in their top 25 worst books ever written, well, I felt impelled to read this book.After finishing it, I feel pretty certain that (almost) none of the teachers, professors, or tutors that I have encountered have read this book with any efficacy — And mor [...]
I would be hard-pressed to think of a more thoroughly wronged philosopher than John Dewey. A teacher himself, he clearly and engagingly makes the critical connections between education and democratic government. In his own lifetime and following decades, his ideas for education and schools were turned inside out by his 'disciples.' Reading this book can seem like a long succession of 'Duh!' moments. It can help the interested reader solidify a personal undestanding of education and how it really [...]
I've lately pondered my choice of career, and realized I'm not sure if I ever want to be a classroom teacher again. I think I've been disenchanted by the state legislature and the lack of anyone really being able to ease the pressure on teachers. It is just a TOUGH job. But I do love teaching. It is among my favorite things to do. So I'm reading this book to help motivate me to not only continue teaching, but to try and raise my voice about the concerns I have with public education.
