More quotes by John Dewey
A response is not just a re-action, a protest, as it were, against being disturbed it is, as the word indicates, an answer. It meets the stimulus, and corresponds with it.
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
For in spite of itself any movement that thinks and acts in terms of an ‘ism becomes so involved in reaction against other ‘isms that it is unwittingly controlled by them. For it then forms its principles by reaction against them instead of by a comprehensive, constructive survey of actual needs, problems, and possibilities.
John Dewey
The educational process has no end beyond itself it is its own end.
John Dewey
Liberty is not just an idea, an abstract principle. It is power, effective power to do specific things. There is no such thing as liberty in general liberty, so to speak, at large.
John Dewey
The first step in freeing men from external chains was to emancipate them from the internal chains of false beliefs and ideals.

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
Schools should take an active part in directing social change, and share in the construction of a new social order
John Dewey
As long as art is the beauty parlor of civilization, neither art nor civilization is secure.
John Dewey
Choice is the declaration by self that a certain ideal of self shall be realized.
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
To be a recipient of a communication is to have an enlarged and changed experience.
John Dewey
A child might be made to bow every time he met a certain person by pressure on his neck muscles, and bowing would finally become automatic. It would not, however, be an act of recognition or deference on his part, till he did it with a certain end in view - as having a certain meaning.
John Dewey
Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.
John Dewey
The religious is any activity pursued in behalf of an ideal end against obstacles and in spite of threats of personal loss because of its general and enduring value.
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
Old ideas give way slowly for they are more than abstract logical forms and categories. They are habits, predispositions, deeply ingrained attitudes of aversion and preference.
John Dewey
