Summary

This edition brings Dewey's educational theory into sharp focus, framing his two classic works by frank assessments, past and present, of the practical applications of Dewey's ideas. In addition to a substantial introduction in which Philip W. Jackson explains why more of Dewey's ideas haven't been put into practice, this edition restores a "lost" chapter, dropped from the book by Dewey in 1915.

Author Biography

John Dewey (1859-1952), a founder of the philosophical school of pragmatism, was the outstanding thinker in American educational reform during the first half of the twentieth century. His many works on psychology, education, and philosophy include: On Education: Selected Writings, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
