About the Author
John Dewey (1859-1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform. Dewey, along with Charles Sanders Peirce and William James, is recognized as one of the founders of the philosophy of pragmatism and of functional psychology. He was a major representative of the progressive and progressive populist[2] philosophies of schooling during the first half of the 20th century in the USA.[3] Although Dewey is known best for his publications concerning education, he also wrote about many other topics, including experience, nature, art, logic, inquiry, democracy, and ethics. In his advocacy of democracy, Dewey considered two fundamental elements-schools and civil society-as being major topics needing attention and reconstruction to encourage experimental intelligence and plurality. Dewey asserted that complete democracy was to be obtained not just by extending voting rights but also by ensuring that there exists a fully-formed public opinion, accomplished by effective communication among citizens, experts, and politicians, with the latter being accountable for the policies they adopt.

Paperback. Condition: Good. The thought process laid bare. One of America's greatest philosophers and educators examines the nature and process of human reasoning, intellect, and emotion. John Dewey took a common sense approach to the subject, using examples and explanations that resonate today. His pragmatism has influenced much modern philosophy and the social sciences-and in the effort he produced a timeless, captivating, and universally accessible study of the subject of human thought and logical decision-making. John Dewey (1859-1952) was a U.S. philosopher, education reformer, and psychologist, and an influential professor at the University of Michigan, University of Chicago, and Columbia University. His belief in an empirically based theory of knowledge informed much of his work on logic and philosophy, including HOW WE THINK. Dewey also explored political theory, psychology, and education in his many acclaimed books and academic articles. Part of the Classics of the Social Sciences Series from QUID PRO BOKS. Presented in a digitally remastered form, this new edition corrects the missing letters, underlines, and distracting stray marks typically found in such republications.
