More quotes by John Dewey
Mind is a verb not a noun.
John Dewey
Not only is social life identical with communication, but all communication (and hence all genuine social life) is educative.
John Dewey
The school has the function of coordinating within the disposition of each individual the diverse influences of the various social environments into which he enters.
John Dewey
The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.
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
The young of human beings compare so poorly in original efficiency with the young of many of the lower animals, that even the powers needed for physical sustentation have to be acquired under tuition. How much more, then, is this the case with respect to all the technological, artistic, scientific, and moral achievements of humanity!
John Dewey
We talk much more about individualism and liberty than our ancestors. But as so often happens, when anything becomes conscious, the consciousness is compensatory for absence in practice.
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
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
Every living being needs continually renewed, and education is simply the chief process by which renewal occurs.
John Dewey
The need for growth, for development, for change, is fundamental to life.
John Dewey
While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing.
John Dewey
...the moment of passage from disturbance into harmony is that of intensest life.
John Dewey
Talk of democracy has little content when big business rules the life of the country through its control of the means of production, exchange, the press and other means of publicity, propaganda and communication.
John Dewey
Confidence is directness and courage in meeting the facts of life.
John Dewey
Modern life means democracy, democracy means freeing intelligence for independent effectivenessthe emancipation of mind as an individual organ to do its own work. We naturally associate democracy, to be sure, with freedom of action, but freedom of action without freed capacity of thought behind it is only chaos.
John Dewey
Within even the most social group there are many relations that are not as yet social.
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
In brief, the function of knowledge is to make one experience freely available to other experiences.
John Dewey
The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning.
John Dewey
