	John Dewey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For Dewey, it was vitally important that education not be the teaching of mere dead fact, but that the skills and knowledge which students learned be integrated fully into their lives as persons, citizens and human beings.
		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".

	John Dewey
		For Dewey, it was vitally important that education not be the teaching of mere dead fact, but that the skills and knowledge which students learned be integrated fully into their lives as citizens and human beings.
		Dewey was essentially the seminal thinker of educational progressivism and an important progressive in general.
		As with the reemergence of progressive philosophy of education, Dewey's contributions to philosophy as such (he was, after all, much more a professional philosopher than a thinker on education) have also reemerged with the post-Cold War reassessment of pragmatism by thinkers like WVO Quine and Richard Rorty.

	Moscow Trials - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In May 1937 the Commission of Inquiry into the Charges Made against Leon Trotsky in the Moscow Trials, commonly known as the Dewey Commission, was set up in the United States by supporters of Trotsky, to establish the truth about the trials.
		The commission was headed by the noted American philosopher and educator John Dewey.
		Molotov postulated a defendant could invent a story that he collaborated with foreign agents and party members to undermine the government, and then those members would come under suspicion despite doing nothing, while the false foreign collaboration charge would be believed as well.

		That is why I declared that my archives are completely at the disposal of the Commission; that I am ready to communicate immediately to the Chairman of the Commission or to the Commission as a whole in a secret session where they are, where the originals are and where the copies are.
		DEWEY: He also states that this Bloc was made up of lackeys of imperialism, of Mensheviks, of those who have been expelled from the ranks of the Bolshevik Party, and refuse of the working-class parties.

		With this object in view I sent a Commission to inform the Admiral of the arrangement and invite him to be present on the occasion of the formal proclamation of Independence, a ceremony which was solemnly and impressively conducted.
		It was better for their criminal designs that the American Commission should view the desolation and horrors of war in the Philippines, inhaling on the very day of their arrival the revolting odour emitted from American and Filipino corpses.
		It were better for them that the Commission should view the Philippines problem through fire and slaughter, in the midst of whizzing bullets and the uncontrolled passion of infuriated foes, thus preventing them from forming correct judgment of the exact and natural conditions of the problem.

		At the end of June I called on Admiral Dewey, who, after complimenting me on _the rapid triumphs of the Philippine Revolution_, told me he had been asked by the German and French Admirals why he allowed the Filipinos to display on their vessels a flag that was not recognized.
		Admiral Dewey said his reply to the French and German Admirals was--with _his knowledge and consent the Filipinos used that flag_, and, apart from this, he was of opinion that in view of the courage and steadfastness of purpose displayed in the war against the Spaniards the Filipinos deserved the right to use their flag.
		CHAPTER XVIII The Mixed Commission Conferences of the Mixed Commission, Americans and Filipinos, were held in Manila from the 11th to the 31st of the said month of January, the Filipino Commissioners clearly expressing the wish of our people for recognition as an independent nation.

		Voting 4-1, the Dewey Beach town commissioners have approved a plan to allow conversions of motels to condominium units, regulated under conditional-use zoning.
		Dewey planners held three public meetings to hear testimony and discuss how best to allow motel-to-condo conversions before presenting the draft ordinance to the commissioners.
		Voting with the majority to approve the ordinance proposed by the town planning and zoning commission, Commissioner Alice Walsh said she believes the conversions will reduce density related to existing motels, as it will take two or three motel rooms to create a condominium unit.

	60 years since the Dewey Commission
		However, an objective examination of the Moscow Trials, of which the investigation by the Dewey Commission forms the most comprehensive exposure, demonstrates that the frame-ups were not the product of Marxism or Bolshevism, but rather their counterrevolutionary opposite-Stalinism.
		The noted historian Charles Beard, for example, declined to participate on the Dewey Commission on the grounds that it was impossible to prove a negative.
		The establishment of the Dewey Commission represented an important advance by the Trotskyist movement in exposing the lies of Stalinism and its false identification with Marxism.

		Dewey was another in a long series of New England Unitarian/Christian Socialists, which also included Daniel Ford, of the Ford Hall Forum, Edward Bellamy, author of the utopian novel Looking Backward, and his cousin, Francis Bellamy, author of the Pledge of Allegiance.
		In Dewey's case, he was not only a socialist but a doctrinaire communist as well.
		One of the founders of the NAACP in 1913, Dewey had taught the only answer to the race problem was the complete submergence of the races within one another.

	Leon Trotsky and the Dewey Commission
		Whenever I describe some of the activities of the Russian Communists that Dewey approved of in 1929, a respondent tries to salvage Dewey’s fast fading reputation with an argument involving Leon Trotsky.
		The commission, held in Mexico where Trotsky was living, deliberated for one week in 1937, giving Trotsky a forum to defend himself.
		The Dewey Commission, as it was informally known, whitewashed Trotsky, making him out as innocent victim of Stalin — instead of his partner in slaughter.

	FT May 2004: How Richard Rorty Found Religion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Following his pragmatist mentor John Dewey, Rorty believes that we might usefully substitute faith in human potential for retrograde faith in a benevolent God.
		Dewey and Whitman thought we could “take pride in what America might, all by itself and by its own lights, make of itself, rather than in America’s obedience to any authority—even the authority of God.” Rather than being curious about God, we should be curious about one another.
		Dewey and Whitman thus “hoped to separate the fraternity and loving kindness urged by the Christian Scriptures from the idea of supernatural parentage, immorality, providence, and—most important—sin.” Moreover, this civil religion is centered on this world rather than oriented to heaven.

		And yet the Commission's admirable recommendations, as my dialogue with the co-chairmen yesterday made clear, are far more tentative than their findings of fact.

	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.

	9/11 Commission
		Among those identified were: pursuing a worldwide strategy of disrupting and denying safe harbors to terrorist groups; promoting reforms in the broader Middle East; developing and deploying cutting-edge technologies to secure the country's borders and ports; and reforming intelligence by improving cooperation and information-sharing among intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security agencies.
		He has accepted the commission's key conclusion: Namely, that the 9/11 intelligence failure might have been avoided, and the attacks themselves averted, if only a "czar" had been in charge of the CIA and the other 14 agencies that comprise our intelligence service.
		The Times said in Thursday editions that a previously undisclosed report by the 9/11 commission that investigated the suicide airliner attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon detailed warnings given to FAA leaders from April to Sept. 10, 2001, about the radical Islamic terrorist group and its leader, Osama bin Laden.
