More quotes by John Dewey
Thinking and feeling that have to do with action in association with others is as much a social mode of behavior as is the most overt cooperative or hostile act.
John Dewey
Choice is the declaration by self that a certain ideal of self shall be realized.
John Dewey
Despite the never ending play of conscious correction and instruction, the surrounding atmosphere and spirit is in the end the chief agent in forming manners.
John Dewey
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
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
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
Plato defined a slave as one who accepts from another the purposes which control his conduct. This condition obtains even where there is no slavery in the legal sense. It is found wherever men are engaged in activity which is socially serviceable, but whose service they do not understand and have no personal interest in.
John Dewey
Every teacher should realize the dignity of his calling.
John Dewey
Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.
John Dewey
It requires troublesome work to undertake the alteration of old beliefs.
John Dewey
Communication is a process of sharing experience till it becomes a common possession. It modifies the disposition of both the parties who partake in it.
John Dewey
Such words as society and community are likely to be misleading, for they have a tendency to make us think there is a single thing corresponding to the single word.
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
Things gain meaning by being used in a shared experience or joint action.
John Dewey
What's in a question, you ask? Everything. It is evoking stimulating response or stultifying inquiry. It is, in essence, the very core of teaching.
John Dewey
Etymologically, the word education means just a process of leading or bringing up.
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
Not perfection as a final goal, but the ever-enduring process of perfecting, maturing, refining is the aim of living.
John Dewey
To be a recipient of a communication is to have an enlarged and changed 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
