Opis

This collection provides comprehensive coverage of a complex theme which will be of interest to those involved in the fields of philosophy and education alike.

John Dewey was one of the most influential American philosophers of his time and also oen of the most prolific, with about 40 books and 700 articles to his credit. When this book was originally published in 1977 Dewey's work, with the exception of his important contributions to the philosophy of education, had suffered an unwarranted scholarly neglect and remained little known outside the USA. This present volume helped redress this balance.

Recenzje

'This valuable book does show very clearly that...careful analysis of the concepts used in education can only clarify the issues involved.'- Spectator
