Text Quotes
The future of our civilisation depends upon the widening spread and deepening hold of the scientific habit of mind (John Dewey Quotes)
Schools should take part in the great work of construction and organization that will have to be done (John Dewey Quotes)
Schools should take an active part in directing social change, and share in the construction of a new social order (John Dewey Quotes)
Man’s home is nature; his purposes and aims are dependent for execution upon natural conditions. Separated from such conditions they become empty dreams and idle indulgences of fancy (John Dewey Quotes)
To be interested is to be absorbed in, wrapped up in, carried away by, some object. To take an interest is to be on the alert, to care about, to be attentive (John Dewey Quotes)
Too rarely is the individual teacher so free from the dictation of authoritative supervisor, textbook on methods, prescribed course of study, etc., that he can let his mind come to close quarters with the pupil’s mind and the subject matter (John Dewey Quotes)
Everything which bars freedom and fullness of communication sets up barriers that divide human beings into sets and cliques, into antagonistic sects and factions, and thereby undermines the democratic way of life (John Dewey Quotes)
There is no God and there is no soul. Hence, there is no need for the props of traditional religion. With dogma and creed excluded, then immutable truth is dead and buried. There is no room for fixed and natural law or permanent moral absolutes (John Dewey Quotes)
An idea is a method of evading, circumventing or surmounting through reflection, obstacles that otherwise would have to be attacked by brute force (John Dewey Quotes)
You can teach students to develop the ability to think reflectively, and you can help them understand what this means, but if they are not inclined to do so they never will (John Dewey Quotes)
Talk of democracy has little content when big business rules the life of the country through its control of the means of production, exchange, the press and other means of publicity, propaganda and communication (John Dewey Quotes)
The plea for the predominance of learning to read in early school life because of the great importance attaching to literature seems to be a perversion (John Dewey Quotes)
No system has ever as yet existed which did not in some form involve the exploitation of some human beings for the advantage of others (John Dewey Quotes)
By reading the characteristic features of any man’s castles in the air you can make a shrewd guess as to his underlying desires which are frustrated (John Dewey Quotes)
If all meanings could be adequately expressed by words, the arts of painting and music would not exist (John Dewey Quotes)
Perhaps the greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person learns only the particular thing he is studying at the time (John Dewey Quotes)
It may be said that an education which does not succeed in making poetry a resource in the business of life as well as in its leisure, has something the matter with it (John Dewey Quotes)
Democracy is a form of government only because it is a form of moral and spiritual association (John Dewey Quotes)
Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method, cultivated by philosophers, for dealing with the problems of men (John Dewey Quotes)
Collateral learning in the way of formation of enduring attitudes, of likes and dislikes, may be and often is much more important than the spelling lesson or lesson in geography or history that is learned (John Dewey Quotes)
We cannot think of ourselves save as to some extent social being. Hence, we cannot separate the idea of ourselves and our own good from our idea of others and their good (John Dewey Quotes)
We talk much more about individualism and liberty than our ancestors. But as so often happens, when anything becomes conscious, the consciousness is compensatory for absence in practice (John Dewey Quotes)
One might as well say he has sold when no one has bought as to say he has taught when no one has learned (John Dewey Quotes)
Since in reality there is nothing to which growth is relative save more growth, there is nothing to which education is subordinate save more education.? (John Dewey Quotes)
There is no such thing as educational value in the abstract. The notion that some subjects and methods and that acquaintance with certain facts and truths possess educational value in and of themselves is the reason why traditional education reduced the material of education so largely to a diet of predigested materials (John Dewey Quotes)
The only freedom that is of enduring importance is the freedom of intelligence, that is to say, freedom of observation and of judgment, exercised in behalf of purposes that are intrinsically worth while. The commonest mistake made about freedom is, I think, to identify it with freedom of movement, or, with the external or physical side of activity (John Dewey Quotes)
As we have seen there is some kind of continuity in any case since every experience affects for better or worse the attitudes which help decide the quality of further experiences, by setting up certain preference and aversion, and making it easier or harder to act for this or that end (John Dewey Quotes)
Since changes are going on anyway, the great thing is to learn enough about them so that we will be able to lay hold of them and turn them in the direction of our desires. Conditions and events are neither to be fled from nor passively acquiesced in; they are to be utilized and directed (John Dewey Quotes)
The intellectual content of religions has always finally adapted itself to scientific and social conditions after they have become clear... For this reason I do not think that those who are concerned about the future of a religious attitude should trouble themselves about the conflict of science with traditional doctrines (John Dewey Quotes)
I believe that the community’s duty to education is, therefore, its paramount moral duty. By law and punishment, by social agitation and discussion, society can regulate and form itself in a more or less haphazard and chance way. But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move (John Dewey Quotes)
