John
Dewey
(1859-1952)
is
an
American
philosopher
and
psychologist
most
notably
remembered
for
his
theories
on
progressive
education.
He
grew
up
in
the
rapidly
industrializing
town
of
Burlington,
Vermont,
where
he
was
able
to
witness
increasing
social
and
economic
division
of
the
classes.
Although
he
displayed
little
vivacity
or
imagination
as
a
child,
he
was
immensely
analytical
and
spent
years
teaching
and
writing
on
a
wide
range
of
philosophical
ideas.
Of
his
twenty-one
books
and
countless
articles,
"Human
Nature
and
Conduct"
is
one
of
his
best-known;
it
draws
from
Dewey's
West
Memorial
Foundation
lectures
at
Stanford
University.
This
work
criticizes
the
morality
of
the
past
as
being
too
abstract
and
reliant
on
arbitrary
rules
rather
than
on
a
scientific
understanding
of
human
nature.
Dewey
argues
that
truth
changes
over
time,
and
therefore
life
must
be
based
on
human
experiences
and
utilizing
one's
knowledge
in
coping
with
those experiences.
