Democracy And Education : 9781619490260

John Dewey's analysis and criticism of the educational philosophies of Plato and Jean-Jacques Rousseau culminate in his expansion upon the idea that the individual and society are inextricably linked-and that this linkage informs the development of intellect. This classic introduction to Dewey's philosophy of education became a foundation for many of today's progressive theories of education, and the influence of the ideas contained therein continue to shape the educational landscape of the Western world.
