Description

How we think, for Dewey, is not a passive line from fact to conclusion. Intelligence is active, curious, willing to doubt. This Sovereign ebook is education and problem-solving as reflective work — inquiry as a habit, not a gift. How We Think against the recitation class. Children, and adults, as experimenters. American pragmatism aimed at the school and the street. Thinking as doing, with consequences. A classic of pedagogy that still refuses to call memorising a mind.

Author

John Dewey, a renowned American philosopher and educator, was an eminent exponent of the pragmatist school of thought. Drawing heavily from the works of his predecessors such as William James and Charles Sanders Peirce, Dewey developed a comprehensive philosophy that emphasized the interdependency between knowledge acquisition and practical experiences.
