democracy and education an introduction to the philosophy of education

These divisions stem from the dualisms embedded in philosophical systems of education, which dichotomize certain domains or relationships, such as the mind and the body, the mind and nature, and the individual and society.

The final section of the book examines the intellectual roots of social divisions that impede the application of democratic education in the contemporary society. This general discussion is then applied to the type of contents and methods that are necessary in a progressive democratic community. Outlines the social role of education, both formal and informal, as the transmitter and bearer of a society's identity through the preparation of youth for adult society. In Democracy and Education, combining his philosophical pragmatism and his progressive pedagogical ideas, Dewey Democracy and Education, published in 1916, is Dewey's seminal work on education and arguably its most influential on this topic. The writings of John Dewey span a broad range of subjects, including psychology, epistemology, ethics, and democratic politics, but his philosophy of education lies at the heart of his work.
