More quotes by John Dewey
The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.
John Dewey
Communication of science as subject-matter has so far outrun in education the construction of a scientific habit of mind that to some extent the natural common sense of mankind has been interfered with to its detriment.
John Dewey
Experience, in short, is not a combination of mind and world, subject and object, method and subject matter, but is a single continuous interaction of a great diversity (literally countless in number) of energies.
John Dewey
To avoid a split between what men consciously know because they are aware of having learned it by a specific job of learning, and what they unconsciously know because they have absorbed it in the formation of their characters by intercourse with others, becomes an increasingly delicate task with every development of special schooling.
John Dewey
When things have a meaning for us, we mean (intend, propose) what we do: when they do not, we act blindly, unconsciously, unintelligently.
John Dewey
To savages it would seem preposterous to seek out a place where nothing but learning was going on in order that one might learn.
John Dewey
Traveling is a constant arriving, while arrival that precludes further traveling is most easily attained by going to sleep or dying.
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
Education is life itself.
John Dewey
As long as art is the beauty parlor of civilization, neither art nor civilization is secure.
John Dewey
If a person cannot foresee the consequences of his act, and is not capable of understanding what he is told about its outcome by those with more experience, it is impossible for him to guide his act intelligently. In such a state, every act is alike to him.
John Dewey
We cannot set up, out of our heads, something we regard as an ideal society.
John Dewey
We rarely recognize the extent in which our conscious estimates of what is worth while and what is not, are due to standards of which we are not conscious at all.
John Dewey
Things gain meaning by being used in a shared experience or joint action.
John Dewey
By various agencies, unintentional and designed, a society transforms uninitiated and seemingly alien beings into robust trustees of its own resources and ideals. Education is thus a fostering, a nurturing, a cultivating, process.
John Dewey
Instruction is important.
John Dewey
The interaction of knowledge and skills with experience is key to learning.
John Dewey
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication.... Try the experiment of communicating, with fullness and accuracy, some experience to another, especially if it be somewhat complicated, and you will find your own attitude toward your experience changing.
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
Intellectually religious emotions are not creative but conservative. They attach themselves readily to the current view of the world and consecrate it.
John Dewey
