	Dewey
		As a professor of philosophy, Dewey taught at Michigan, Chicago, and Columbia University.
		Drawn from an idealist background by the pragmatist influence of Peirce and James, Dewey became an outstanding exponent of philosophical naturalism.
		The tentative character of scientific inquiry makes Dewey's epistemology thoroughly fallibilistic: he granted that the results of this process are always open to criticism and revision, so that nothing is ever finally and absolutely true.

	John Dewey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Progressive education (both as espoused by Dewey, and in the more popular and inept forms of which Dewey was critical) was essentially scrapped during the Cold War, when the dominant concern in education was creating and sustaining a scientific and technological elite for military purposes.
		Dewey is one of the three central figures in American pragmatism, along with Charles Sanders Peirce, who coined the term, and William James, who popularized it—though Dewey did not identify himself as a pragmatist per se, and instead referred to his philosophy as "instrumentalism".
		Dewey worked from strongly Hegelian and Neo-Hegelian influences, unlike James, whose lineage was primarily British, drawing particularly on empiricist and utilitarian thought.

	John Dewey [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Dewey defended this general outline of the process of inquiry throughout his long career, insisting that it was the only proper way to understand the means by which we attain knowledge, whether it be the commonsense knowledge that guides the ordinary affairs of our lives, or the sophisticated knowledge arising from scientific inquiry.
		Dewey begins with the observation that the world as we experience it both individually and collectively is an admixture of the precarious, the transitory and contingent aspect of things, and the stable, the patterned regularity of natural processes that allows for prediction and human intervention.
		Dewey argues that, to the contrary, the process is barren without the agency of the appreciator, whose active assimilation of the artist's work requires a recapitulation of many of the same processes of discrimination, comparison, and integration that are present in the artist's initial work, but now guided by the artist's perception and skill.

		Dewey freely acknowledged her influence on his educational thinking, especially "the translation of philosophic conceptions into their empirical equivalents." The Laboratory School was not a model institution; rather, it truly lived up to its name.
		Dewey, as we have seen, is concerned with both negative and positive freedom in the relation between the individual and the community.
		Dewey agreed and suggests that Buermeyer "was handicapped by the fact that the analysis which he takes as the subject of his criticism was written for pedagogical purposes rather than for strictly logical ends" (MW 13: 61).

	John Dewey's participatory philosophy of education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Dewey's curriculum theory is occupied with three broader, crucial aspects of educational theory, namely: the anthropological, psychological and societal aspects of education.
		Finally, Dewey's view on child growth and education is illustrated by a description of his thoughts on children's play, and by an excursion to the kindergarten or 'sub-primary' department of his laboratory school.
		It is concluded that Dewey emerges from this debate with a 'precurricular' view of the education of the young child and with powerful arguments for continuity between informal and formal education.

	John Dewey
		Dewey was just beginning his work in the 1890s, but his lifetime of intellectual accomplishments (40 books and over 700 articles, in addition to countless letters, lectures, and other published works) continue to play an influential role in many fields of knowledge.
		Dewey's department was intended to bring together philosophy, psychology, and the study of pedagogy, focusing on relationships between elementary and secondary school teachers and university educators.
		Dewey remained at Columbia until the end of his active teaching career in 1930, and his most noted works in philosophy and education were completed while he was associated with Columbia.

	Dewey's Political Philosophy
		Dewey's early philosophical work was characterised by the attempt to combine the tenets of the Idealism imbibed from Morris with the emerging approach of experimental psychology to understanding the mind, exemplified by the work of another of Dewey's colleagues, G. Stanley Hall.
		Dewey's conception of inquiry is intended as a general model of reflective intelligence, and he argues against drawing an a priori distinction between, for example, inquiry in ethics and politics and in the natural sciences.
		Dewey was anti-authoritarian, in the sense that he did not believe that the liberal rights protected in the name of individual liberty (such as freedoms of speech, thought, movement, and so on) should be dispensed with.

	Dewey Decimal Classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC, also called the Dewey Decimal System) is a system of library classification developed by Melvil Dewey in 1876, and since greatly modified and expanded in the course of the twenty-two major revisions, the most recent in 2004.
		DDC is commonly used in public and school libraries throughout the world, although some college and university libraries of all sizes also use Dewey, notably Duke University and Northwestern University.
		Despite its frequent revision, DDC is widely considered theoretically inferior to other more modern systems which make freer use of alphabetical characters to produce shorter classmarks for concepts of equal complexity, though it continues to offer a more expressive format than the Library of Congress Classification developed shortly afterward.

	John Dewey
		Dewey's approach was not a matter of whim or of arbitrary convictions about school design but a central feature of his philosophy.
		In 1904 Dewey was appointed Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University and it was from this base that he articulated and spread the educational ideas which he had developed at the Chicago laboratory school.
		It is one of the difficulties that Dewey presents to anyone who would present a short précis of his career that he lived to the age of 93: active to the end - he married for the second time and started a second family at the age of 87.

	John Dewey and informal education
		Dewey's philosophical pragmatism, concern with interaction, reflection and experience, and interest in community and democracy, were brought together to form a highly suggestive educative form.
		However, John Dewey's influence can be seen in many of the writers that have influenced the development of informal education over the same period.
		In this book Dewey seeks seeks to move beyond dualities such as progressive / traditional - and to outline a philosophy of experience and its relation to education.

	John Dewey vs. the Alexander Technique
		The American philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952) recommended the Alexander Technique, and today teachers frequently use his endorsement in their advertisements.
		Further, Dewey claimed the Alexander Technique illustrated his own philosophy, and some teachers repeat that claim in their descriptions of the Technique.
		The purpose of this website is to show that Dewey’s philosophy has nothing to do with the Alexander Technique, indeed is opposed to it, that Dewey’s philosophy is unattractive in other respects, and that teachers ought to shun Dewey’s testimonials.
