This book was first published in 1899 and it is a collection of lectures that Dewey delivered at the University of Chicago in 1896. In this book, Dewey discusses his philosophy of education, which emphasizes the importance of experiential learning and the integration of education with social reform. He argues that education should not be limited to the acquisition of knowledge but should also focus on the development of skills, attitudes, and values that prepare students for active participation in a democratic society. Dewey also discusses the role of the school in society and the need for schools to be responsive to the changing needs of society. He advocates for a more flexible and adaptive approach to education that takes into account the individual needs and interests of students. Overall, The School and Society is a seminal work in the field of educational philosophy and has had a significant impact on the development of modern education theory and practice.
