  Edward R Dewey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dewey recorded the results of his numerous studies on cyclicity of events, and measured cycles on economic, geological, biological, and other types of trends.
Dewey is the founder of The Foundation for the Study of Cycles.
In the course of his research, Dewey observed that seemingly unrelated events had often similar cyclicity (cycle synchrony), and that many cycles had periods that were related by powers or products of 2 and 3, as shown in the table below.

 John Dewey [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
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.

 John Dewey
Dewey ranks with the greatest thinkers of this or any age on the subjects of pedagogy, philosophy of mind, epistemology, logic, philosophy of science, and social and political theory.

 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's Moral Philosophy
Dewey declined to offer substantive answers to the traditional questions posed by these theories, arguing that no fixed ends or moral rules could be adequate in a world of constant change and plural and conflicting values.
Dewey argued that the British utilitarians carried this inquiry most deeply with their ideal observer theory of morality, which identified the standard with that by which an informed impartial and benevolent observer appraises conduct — namely, its tendency to promote everyone's welfare.
Dewey argued that the supposedly external, transcendent criteria for appraising conduct — ideals of the good, principles of right, standards of approval and disapproval — should rather be treated as hypotheses, as tools for uncovering additional data needed to appraise our valuings.

 reflection @ the informal education homepage
Dewey defined reflective thought as 'active, persistent, and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the grounds that support it and the further conclusions to which it tends' (Dewey 1933: 118).
Dewey often speaks, 'as if a correct account of the nature of thought would make possible the sort of improvement in thinking which had been promised in the past by others' (Rorty 1989: xvii).
Last, while Dewey does attend to the place of emotions, for example with regard to the doubts that trigger reflection - it is limited.

 THE EDUCATIONAL SITUATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In 1894, when John Dewey came to Chicago, US educational leaders were reshaping the elementary school, high school, and college, institutions initially aimed at different social groups, into three ‘levels’ of a more integrated K--16 system.
At the same time, Dewey’s fellow reformers were furthering the ‘new education’ by advocating activity-based, co-operative subjects, including nature study and manual arts for the elementary school curriculum.
Dewey’s conception of experience-based practical learning to form habits of inquiry and co-operation securing democratic life was a masterful synthesis of the ‘new education’, and The School and Society became an educational classic inspiring educators for a century.

 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.
