Rediscovering Dewey: A Reflection on Independent Thinking (2011) by Steven Simpson

Description

John Dewey believed in education, and he believed in American participatory democracy. In Rediscovering Dewey, Simpson uses personal anecdotes, Dewey’s extensive writings, and even Chinese legends to discuss Dewey’s ideas about teaching democracy, independent thinking, and a sense of community. They are as relevant today as when they were written (Wood N Barnes Publishing, (204 pp).
