More quotes by John Dewey
The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.
John Dewey
The real process of education should be the process of learning to think through the application of real problems.
John Dewey
Men have never fully used [their] powers to advance the good in life, because they have waited upon some power external to themselves and to nature to do the work they are responsible for doing.
John Dewey
Since growth is the characteristic of life, education is all one with growing it has no end beyond itself. The criterion of the value of school education is the extent in which it creates a desire for continuous growth and supplies means for making the desire effective in fact.
John Dewey
I believe that in this way the teacher always is the prophet of the true God and the usherer in of the true kingdom of God.
John Dewey
Cooperation called fraternity in the classic French formula is as much a part of the democratic ideal as is personal initiative. That cultural conditions were allowed to develop (markedly so in the economic phase) which subordinated cooperativeness to liberty and equality serves to explain the decline in the two latter.
John Dewey
Schools should take an active part in directing social change, and share in the construction of a new social order
John Dewey
Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us. But it has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the stupid.
John Dewey
All genuine learning comes through experience.
John Dewey
Liberty is not just an idea, an abstract principle. It is power, effective power to do specific things. There is no such thing as liberty in general liberty, so to speak, at large.
John Dewey
Every subject at some phase of its development should possess, what is for the individual concerned with it, an aesthetic quality.
John Dewey
Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live.
John Dewey
Faith in the possibilities of continued and rigorous inquiry does not limit access to truth to any channel or scheme of things. It does not first say that truth is universal and then add there is but one road to it.
John Dewey
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. What are now working conceptions, employed as a matter of course because they have withstood the tests of experiment and have emerged triumphant, were once speculative hypotheses.
John Dewey
A democracy is more than a form of government it is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience.
John Dewey
As long as art is the beauty parlor of civilization, neither art nor civilization is secure.
John Dewey
Criticism of the commitment of religion to the supernatural is thus positive in import.
John Dewey
I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context.
John Dewey
The devotion of democracy to education is a familiar fact. . . . [A] government resting upon popular suffrage cannot be successful unless those who elect . . . their governors are educated.
John Dewey
The struggle for democracy has to be maintained on as many fronts as culture has aspects: political, economic, international, educational, scientific and artistic, religious.
John Dewey
