Synopsis
The Public and Its Problems (1927) by John Dewey is a philosophical and political work examining the nature of democracy in modern society.
Dewey argues that a "public" forms whenever the actions of individuals have indirect consequences for others, creating shared problems that require collective regulation. In modern, complex societies, these consequences are often obscured by large-scale institutions, making the public fragmented and ineffective. Dewey critiques the idea that democracy is simply voting or representation; instead, he sees it as a way of life grounded in communication, shared inquiry, and active participation. He maintains that democracy can be revitalized through better education, freer communication, and social conditions that enable citizens to recognize common interests and act together intelligently.
