Bøger af John Dewey

John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform. In this classic work, first published in 1916, Dewey sought to at once synthesize, criticize, and expand upon the democratic educational philosophies of Rousseau and Plato.

In this book Dewey sought to work upon the democratic educational philosophies of Rousseau and Plato. Dewey's educational ideas were never widely integrated into the American public schools, although some of his values were.

These two influential books represent the earliest authoritative statement of Dewey''s revolutionary emphasis on education as an experimental, child-centered process. He declares that we must make schools an embryonic community life and stresses the importance of the curriculum as a means of determining the environment of the child.

John Dewey -- a former professor of philosophy in Columbia University -- studies the Moral Principles in Education. Included are such topics as "The Moral Purpose of the School," "The Moral Training Given by the School Community," "The Moral Training from Methods of Instruction," "The Social Nature of the Course of Study," and "The Psychological Aspect of Moral Education."

""Reconstruction in Philosophy"" is a seminal work by the renowned American philosopher, John Dewey. Originally published in 1920, this book is a collection of essays that explore Dewey's views on the nature of philosophy and its role in society. In this book, Dewey argues that philosophy should be viewed as a practical and dynamic discipline that is concerned with solving real-world problems rather than abstract speculation. He also emphasizes the importance of science and empirical evidence in shaping philosophical inquiry. Dewey's ideas on education and democracy are also central to this book. He believes that education should be focused on developing critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities, rather than simply memorizing facts. Similarly, he argues that democracy is not just a political system, but a way of life that requires active participation and engagement from all citizens. Overall, ""Reconstruction in Philosophy"" is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to shape the field of philosophy today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, education, and democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
