John Dewey The Middle Works 1899-1924

John Dewey's best-known and still-popular classic,Democracy and Educa­tion,is presented here as a new edition in Volume 9 of the Middle Works. Sidney Hook, who wrote the introduction to this volume, describesDemocracy and Education:"It illuminates directly or indirectly all the basic issues that are cen­tral today to the concerns of intelligent educators. . . . It throws light on sev­eral obscure corners in Dewey's general philosophy in a vigorous, simple prose style often absent in his more technical writings. And it is the only work in any field originally published as a textbook that has not merely acquired the status of a classic, but has become the one book that no student concerned with the phi­losophy of education today should leave unread." Dewey said in 1930thatDe­mocracy and Education,"was for many years the one [book] in which my philos­ophy . . . was most fully expounded."Hook, Sidney is the author of 'John Dewey The Middle Works 1899-1924', published 1980 under ISBN 9780809309337 and ISBN 0809309335.
