About the Author

John Dewey was born in 1859 in Burlington, Vermont. He founded the Laboratory School at the University of Chicago in 1896 to apply his original theories of learning based on pragmatism and "directed living." This combination of learning with concrete activities and practical experience helped earn show more him the title, "father of progressive education." After leaving Chicago he went to Columbia University as a professor of philosophy from 1904 to 1930, bringing his educational philosophy to the Teachers College there. Dewey was known and consulted internationally for his opinions on a wide variety of social, educational and political issues. His many books on these topics began with Psychology (1887), and include The School and Society (1899), Experience and Nature (1925), and Freedom and Culture (1939).Dewey died of pneumonia in 1952.

How We Think by John Dewey

An excellent book. The only thing lacking is a societal/political context in which thinking, learning and teaching take place, and how that context affects all of the above. But still, many ideas that are incredibly relevant after all of these years.

Experience And Education by John Dewey

This is a fabulous nutshell of a book that captures the essential of John Dewey's pragmatist take on education. Even though it was written in the 1930s, it offers so much for those of us involved in public education today. Arne Duncan and Barak Obama should read this right away!
