More quotes by John Dewey
It requires troublesome work to undertake the alteration of old beliefs.
John Dewey
Perhaps the greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person learns only the particular thing he is studying at the time.
John Dewey
Science is a systematic means of gaining reliable knowledge.
John Dewey
The educational process has no end beyond itself it is its own end.
John Dewey
[T]he schools, through reliance upon the spur of competition and the bestowing of special honors and prizes, only build up and strengthen the disposition that makes an individual when he leaves school employ his special talents and superior skill to outwit his fellow without respect for the welfare of others
John Dewey
Time and memory are true artists they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire.
John Dewey
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication.
John Dewey
Education is not an affair of 'telling' and being told, but an active and constructive process.
John Dewey
There is not, in fact, any such thing as the direct influence of one human being on another apart from use of the physical environment as an intermediary. A smile, a frown, a rebuke, a word of warning or encouragement, all involve some physical change. Otherwise, the attitude of one would not get over to alter the attitude of another.
John Dewey
The bare fact that language consists of sounds which are mutually intelligible is enough of itself to show that its meaning depends upon connection with a shared experience.
John Dewey
When words do not enter as factors into a shared situation, either overtly or imaginatively, they operate as pure physical stimuli, not as having a meaning or intellectual value. They set activity running in a given groove, but there is no accompanying conscious purpose or meaning.
John Dewey
In brief, the function of knowledge is to make one experience freely available to other experiences.
John Dewey
Since education is not a means to living, but is identical with the operation of living a life which is fruitful and inherently significant, the only ultimate value which can be set up is just the process of living itself. And this is not an end to which studies and activities are subordinate means it is the whole of which they are ingredients.
John Dewey
The empiric easily degenerates into the quack. He does not know where his knowledge begins or leaves off, and so when he gets beyond routine conditions he begins to pretend-to make claims for which there is no justification, and to trust to luck and to ability to impose upon others-to bluff.
John Dewey
The activity of the immature human being is simply played upon to secure habits which are useful. He is trained like an animal rather than educated like a human being. His instincts remain attached to their original objects of pain or pleasure. But to get happiness or to avoid the pain of failure he has to act in a way agreeable to others.
John Dewey
Selection aims not only at simplifying but at weeding out what is undesirable.
John Dewey
For one man who thanks God that he is not as other men there are a thousand to offer thanks that they are as other men, sufficiently as others are to escape attention.
John Dewey
Art is not the possession of the few who are recognized writers, painters, musicians it is the authentic expression of any and all individuality.
John Dewey
A child may have to be snatched with roughness away from a fire so that he shall not be burnt.
John Dewey
Democracy has to be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.
John Dewey
