About this book

A groundbreaking work that explores the fundamental relationship between education and democracy. In this influential book, Dewey presents his philosophy of education, emphasizing the importance of education in fostering democratic ideals and active participation in a democratic society. The book begins by highlighting the essential role of education in the development of individuals as active, engaged citizens. Dewey argues that education should not be seen as merely the acquisition of knowledge and skills but as a means to cultivate critical thinking, social intelligence, and ethical judgment. He advocates for an education that prepares individuals to participate actively in democratic processes and contribute to the betterment of society.
