Democracy and Education
Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education is a 1916 book by John Dewey.For Dewey, this distinction was largely a false one; like George Herbert Mead and Lev Vygotsky, he viewed the mind and its formation as a communal process. Thus the individual is a meaningful concept only when regarded as an inextricable part of his or her society, and the society has no meaning apart from its realization in the lives of its individual members. As evidenced in his later Experience and Nature , this practical element, learning by doing, arose from his subscription to the philosophical school of Pragmatism.
