More quotes by John Dewey
Continuity of life means continual readaptation of the environment to the needs of living organisms.
John Dewey
Scientific principles and laws do not lie on the surface of nature. They are hidden, and must be wrested from nature by an active and elaborate technique of inquiry.
John Dewey
It has been petrified into a slavery of thought and sentiment, as intolerant superiority on the part of the few and an intolerable burden on the part of the many.
John Dewey
Schools should take an active part in directing social change, and share in the construction of a new social order
John Dewey
If the members who compose a society lived on continuously, they might educate the new-born members, but it would be a task directed by personal interest rather than social need. Now it is a work of necessity.
John Dewey
Like the soil, mind is fertilized while it lies fallow, until a new burst of bloom ensues.
John Dewey
Experience alone cannot deliver to us necessary truths truths completely demonstrated by reason. Its conclusions are particular, not universal.
John Dewey
Education as growth or maturity should be an ever-present process.
John Dewey
Knowledge falters when imagination clips its wings or fears to use them.
John Dewey
I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context.
John Dewey
Time and memory are true artists they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire.
John Dewey
Each generation is inclined to educate its young so as to get along in the present world instead of with a view to the proper end of education: the promotion of the best possible realization of humanity as humanity. Parents educate their children so that they may get on princes educate their subjects as instruments of their own purpose.
John Dewey
Just because life signifies not bare passive existence (supposing there is such a thing), but a way of acting, environment or medium signifies what enters into this activity as a sustaining or frustrating condition.
John Dewey
As a society becomes more enlightened, it realizes that it is responsible not to transmit and conserve the whole of its existing achievements, but only such as make for a better future society. The school is its chief agency for the accomplishment of this end.
John Dewey
We never educate directly, but indirectly by means of the environment. Whether we permit chance environments to do the work, or whether we design environments for the purpose makes a great difference.
John Dewey
Education is life itself.
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
Not perfection as a final goal, but the ever-enduring process of perfecting, maturing, refining is the aim of living.
John Dewey
Always make the other person feel important.
John Dewey
The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning.
John Dewey
