The Collected Works of John Dewey: the Middle Works, 1899-1924 (1916, Democracy and Education) 1st edition
John Dewey
John Dewey?s best-known and still-popular classic, Democracy and Education, is presented here as a new edition in Volume 9 of the Middle Works. Sidney Hook, who wrote the introduction to this volume, describes Democracy and Education: ?It illuminates directly or indirectly all the basic issues that are central today to the concerns of intelligent educators. . . . It throws light on several obscure corners in Dewey?s general philosophy in a vigorous, simple prose style often absent in his more technical writings. And it is the only work in any field originally published as a textbook that has not merely acquired the status of a classic, but has become the one book that no student concerned with the philosophy of education today should leave unread.? Dewey said in 1930that Democracy and Education, ?was for many years the one [book] in which my philosophy . . . was most fully expounded.?
