A society with too few independent thinkers is vulnerable to control by disturbed and opportunistic leaders. A society which wants to create and maintain a free and democratic social system must create responsible independence of thought among its young.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The most important attitude t...

The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning.

Democracy has to be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.

John Dewey 386 quotes

In order to have a large number of values in common, all the members of the group must have an equable opportunity, to receive and to take from others. There must be a large variety of shared undertakings and experiences. Otherwise, the influences which educate some into masters, educates others into slaves.

John Dewey 386 quotes

To "learn from experience" is...

To "learn from experience" is to make a backward and forward connection between what we do to things and what we enjoy or suffer from things in consequence.

John Dewey 386 quotes

We have three approaches at o...

We have three approaches at our disposal: the observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation serves to assemble the data, reflection to synthesise them and experimentation to test the results of the synthesis. The observation of nature must be assiduous, just as reflection must be profound, and experimentation accurate. These three approaches are rarely found together, which explains why creative geniuses are so rare.

The experience has to be formulated in order to be communicated.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The acquisition however perfectly of skills is not an end in itself. They are things to be put to use as a contribution to a common and shared life.

The conduct of schools, based upon a new order of conception, is so much more difficult than is the management of schools which walk the beaten path.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Communication is a process of sharing experience till it becomes a common possession. It modifies the disposition of both the parties who partake in it.

Modern philosophy certainly exacts a surrender of all supernaturalism and fixed dogma and rigid institutionalism with which Christianity has been historically associated

John Dewey 386 quotes

To oscillate between drill ex...

To oscillate between drill exercises that strive to attain efficiency in outward doing without the use of intelligence, and an accumulation of knowledge that is supposed to be an ultimate end in itself, means that education accepts the present social conditions as final, and thereby takes upon itself the responsibility for perpetuating them. A reorganization of education so that learning takes place in connection with the intelligent carrying forward of purposeful activities is a slow work. It can be accomplished only piecemeal, a step at a time.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Democracy is a form of government only because it is a form of moral and spiritual association.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Even dogs and horses have their actions modified by association with human beings; they form different habits because human beings are concerned with what they do.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The aim of education is to enable individuals to continue their education — or that the object and reward of learning is continued capacity for growth.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The importance of language in...

The importance of language in gaining knowledge is doubtless the chief cause of the common notion that knowledge may be passed directly from one to another. It almost seems as if all we have to do to convey an idea into the mind of another is to convey a sound into his ear. Thus imparting knowledge gets assimilated to a purely physical process.

John Dewey 386 quotes

There is nothing left worth preserving in the notions of unseen powers, controlling human destiny, to which obedience and worship are due.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Not perfection as a final goal, but the ever-enduring process of perfecting, maturing, refining is the aim of living.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Liberty is not just an idea, ...

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 386 quotes

The conception of education as a social process and function has no definite meaning until we define the kind of society we have in mind.
