Text Quotes
As long as politics is the shadow cast on society by big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance (John Dewey Quotes)
A possibility of continuing progress is opened up by the fact that in learning one act, methods are developed good for use in other situations. Still more important is the fact that the human being acquires a habit of learning. He learns to learn (John Dewey Quotes)
Any education given by a group tends to socialize its members, but the quality and the value of the socialization depends upon the habits and aims of the group. Hence, once more, the need of a measure for the worth of any given mode of social life (John Dewey Quotes)
Family life may be marked by exclusiveness, suspicion, and jealousy as to those without, and yet be a model of amity and mutual aid within. Any education given by a group tends to socialize its members, but the quality and value of the socialization depends on the habits and aims of the group (John Dewey Quotes)
Particularly it is true that a society which not only changes but which has the ideal of such change as will improve it, will have different standards and methods of education from one which aims simply at the perpetuation of its own customs (John Dewey Quotes)
An education could be given which would sift individuals, discovering what they were good for, and supplying a method of assigning each to the work in life for which his nature fits him (John Dewey Quotes)
Now in any social group whatever, even in a gang of thieves, we find some interest held in common, and we find a certain amount of interaction and cooperative intercourse with other groups. From these two traits we derive a standard (John Dewey Quotes)
The problem is to extract the desirable traits of forms of community life which actually exist, and employ them to criticize undesirable features and suggest improvement (John Dewey Quotes)
A democracy is more than a form of government; it is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experiences (John Dewey Quotes)
Education Proceeds ultimately from the patterns furnished by institutions, customs, and laws If the patterns of institutions, customs, and laws are broken for this philosophy education should fix itself. There should be several different things taught instead of one Supreme Factor (John Dewey Quotes)
The first step in freeing men from external chains was to emancipate them from the internal chains of false beliefs and ideals. To free one's mind of chains is to free it of the care of what is acceptable or viewed so by society, this is when true freedom is discovered (John Dewey Quotes)
The ideal may seem remote of execution, but the democratic ideal of education is a farcical yet tragic delusion except as the ideal more and more dominates our public system of education (John Dewey 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 (John Dewey Quotes)
One of the fundamental problems of education in and for a democratic society is set by the conflict of a nationalistic and a wider social aim (John Dewey 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 (John Dewey Quotes)
Education in accord with nature was thought to be the first step in insuring this more social society. It was plainly seen that economic and political limitations were ultimately dependent upon limitations of thought and feeling (John Dewey Quotes)
But after greater individualization on one hand, and a broader community of interest on the other have come into existence, it is a matter of deliberate effort to sustain and extend them (John Dewey Quotes)
It would be impossible to find a deeper sense of education in discovering and developing personal capacities, and training them so that they would connect with the activities of others (John Dewey Quotes)
But when we look at the facts which the term denotes instead of confining our attention to its intrinsic connotation, we find not unity, but a plurality of societies, good and bad (John Dewey Quotes)
Men's fundamental attitudes toward the world are fixed by the scope and qualities of the activities in which they partake (John Dewey Quotes)
We sometimes talk as if original research were a peculiar prerogative of scientists or at least of advanced students. But all thinking is research, and all research is native, original, with him who carries it on, even if everybody else in the world already is sure of what he is still looking for (John Dewey Quotes)
Imposing an alleged uniform general method upon everybody breeds mediocrity in all but the very exceptional. And measuring originality by deviation from the mass breeds eccentricity in them (John Dewey Quotes)
Partiality is, as we have seen, an accompaniment of the existence of interest, since this means sharing, partaking, taking sides in some movement. All the more reason, therefore, for an attitude of mind which actively welcomes suggestions and relevant information from all sides (John Dewey Quotes)
The difference between play and what is regarded as serious employment should be not a difference between the presence and absence of imagination, but a difference in the materials with which imagination is occupied (John Dewey Quotes)
The educative value of manual activities and of laboratory exercises, as well as of play, depends upon the extent in which they aid in bringing about a sensing of the meaning of what is going on. In effect, if not in name, they are dramatizations (John Dewey Quotes)
Every subject at some phase of its development should possess, what is for the individual concerned with it, an aesthetic quality (John Dewey Quotes)
The problem of education in a democratic society is to do away with... Dualism and to construct a course of studies which makes thought a guide of free practice for all and which makes leisure a reward of accepting responsibility for service, rather than a state of exemption from it (John Dewey Quotes)
The intellect is at home in that which is fixed only because it is done and over with, for intellect is itself just as much a deposit of past life as is the matter to which it is congenial. Intuition alone articulates in the forward thrust of life and alone lays hold of reality (John Dewey Quotes)
The discovery that mass changes with velocity, a discovery made when minute bodies came under consideration, finally forced surrender of the notion that mass is a fixed and inalienable possession of ultimate elements or individuals, so that time is now considered to be their fourth dimension (John Dewey Quotes)
Individuality, conceived as a temporal development involves uncertainty, indeterminacy, or contingency. Individuality is the source of whatever is unpredictable in the world (John Dewey Quotes)
