More quotes by John Dewey
I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context.
John Dewey
The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning.
John Dewey
Those engaged in directing the actions of others are always in danger of overlooking the importance of the sequential development of those they direct.
John Dewey
A being connected with other beings cannot perform his own activities without taking the activities of others into account. For they are the indispensable conditions of the realization of his tendencies. When he moves he stirs them and reciprocally.
John Dewey
Every teacher should realize he is a social servant set apart for the maintenance of the proper social order and the securing of the right social growth. 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
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
Every living being needs continually renewed, and education is simply the chief process by which renewal occurs.
John Dewey
Of all affairs, communication is the most wonderful.
John Dewey
Nature as a whole is a progressive realization of purpose strictly comparable to the realization of purpose in any single plant or animal.
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
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
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 Proceeds ultimately from the patterns furnished by institutions, customs, and laws- If the patterns of institutions, customs, and laws are broken for this philosophy education should fix itself. There should be several different things taught instead of one Supreme Factor.
John Dewey
Modern philosophy certainly exacts a surrender of all supernaturalism and fixed dogma and rigid institutionalism with which Christianity has been historically associated
John Dewey
If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.
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
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
The imagination is the medium of appreciation in every field. The engagement of the imagination is the only thing that makes any activity more than mechanical. Unfortunately, it is too customary to identify the imaginative with the imaginary, rather than with a warm and intimate taking in of the full scope of a situation.
John Dewey
A child may have to be snatched with roughness away from a fire so that he shall not be burnt.
John Dewey
Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.
John Dewey
