John Dewey's Democracy and Education addresses the
challenge of providing quality public education in a
democratic society. In this classic work Dewey calls for the
complete renewal of public education, arguing for the fusion
of vocational and contemplative studies in education and for
the necessity of universal education for the advancement of
self and society. First published in 1916, Democracy and
Education is regarded as the seminal work on public
education by one of the most important scholars of the
century.
This is an unabridged reproduction of American philosopher
Dewey's 1916 influential treatise on the philosophy of
progressive education. For the founder of philosophical
pragmatism, the purp
ose of education was intimately connected with the role of
the citizen in democracy and he believed it should be
structured to encourage the associational and communal
aspects of democratic society. Cited in Books for College
