Democracy and Education. Illustrated

About this book

First published in 1916, Democracy and Education is one of John Dewey's most influential works—an enduring classic in the philosophy of education. In this landmark book, Dewey explores the essential connection between democratic society and progressive education, arguing that education is both a social process and a fundamental method of democratic life. Dewey challenges traditional, authoritarian models of schooling, advocating instead for an approach that encourages critical thinking, active participation, and learning through experience. He believes that true education is not about rote memorization or passive absorption, but about cultivating the intellectual and moral capacities of individuals to contribute meaningfully to society. Combining deep philosophical insight with practical concerns, Democracy and Education remains a foundational text for educators, reformers, and anyone interested in how education shapes—and is shaped by—democratic values.
