  • Experience
  • and
  • Education
  • is
  • the
  • best
  • concise
  • statement
  • on
  • education
  • ever
  • published
  • by
  • John
  • Dewey,
  • the
  • man
  • acknowledged
  • to
  • be
  • the
  • pre-eminent
  • educational
  • theorist
  • of
  • the
  • twentieth
  • century.
  • Written
  • more
  • than
  • two
  • decades
  • after
  • Democracy
  • and
  • Education
  • (Dewey's
  • most
  • comprehensive
  • statement
  • of
  • his
  • position
  • in
  • educational
  • philosophy),
  • this
  • book
  • demonstrates
  • how
  • Dewey
  • reformulated
  • his
  • ideas
  • as
  • a
  • result
  • of
  • his
  • intervening
  • experience
  • with
  • the
  • progressive
  • schools
  • and
  • in
  • the
  • light
  • of
  • the
  • criticisms
  • his
  • theories
  • had
  • received.Analyzing
  • both
  • "traditional"
  • and
  • "progressive"
  • education,
  • Dr.
  • Dewey
  • here
  • insists
  • that
  • neither
  • the
  • old
  • nor
  • the
  • new
  • education
  • is
  • adequate
  • and
  • that
  • each
  • is
  • miseducative
  • because
  • neither
  • of
  • them
  • applies
  • the
  • principles
  • of
  • a
  • carefully
  • developed
  • philosophy
  • of
  • experience.
  • Many
  • pages
  • of
  • this
  • volume
  • illustrate
  • Dr.
  • Dewey's
  • ideas
  • for
  • a
  • philosophy
  • of
  • experience
  • and
  • its
  • relation
  • to
  • education.
  • He
  • particularly
  • urges
  • that
  • all
  • teachers
  • and
  • educators
  • looking
  • for
  • a
  • new
  • movement
  • in
  • education
  • should
  • think
  • in
  • terms
  • of
  • the
  • deeped
  • and
  • larger
  • issues
  • of
  • education
  • rather
  • than
  • in
  • terms
  • of
  • some
  • divisive
  • "ism"
  • about
  • education,
  • even
  • such
  • an
  • "ism"
  • as
  • "progressivism."
  • His
  • philosophy,
  • here
  • expressed
  • in
  • its
  • most
  • essential,
  • most
  • readable
  • form,
  • predicates
  • an
  • American
  • educational
  • system
  • that
  • respects
  • all
  • sources
  • of
  • experience,
  • on
  • that
  • offers
  • a
  • true
  • learning
  • situation
  • that
  • is
  • both
  • historical
  • and
  • social,
  • both
  • orderly
  • and dynamic.
