Web Hosting by Netfirms Free Domain Names by Netfirms Professor John Dewey on Posture by Will Jakes It is as reasonable to expect a fire to go out when it is ordered to stop burning as to suppose that a man can stand straight in consequence of a direct action of thought and desire. - John Dewey John Dewey (1859-1952) was an American philosopher and educator whose writings and teachings have had a profound influence on education in the United States. Dewey's philosophy of education, instrumentalism (also called pragmatism), focused on learning-by-doing rather than rote learning and dogmatic instruction, the current practice of his day. A concise summary and explanation of Dewey's educational philosophy can be found in the International Encyclopedia of Education F. Matthias Alexander(1869-1955) was an Australian who developed the educational process that is today commonly called the Alexander Technique - a method of helping people learn how to improve their posture, balance and coordination. The two men met around 1918 in New York City when Dewey had a series of lessons with Alexander. These, and subsequent lessons and conversations and correspondence, had a profound impact on Dewey. He felt that his lessons taught him how to stop and think before acting and enabled him to hold a philosophical position calmly once he had taken it or to change it if new evidence appeared.

John Dewey by Pam Ecker John Dewey, a major figure in American intellectual history, is considered to be one of the few Americans of the twentieth century who ". . . can be acknowledged on a world scale as a spokesman for mankind" (Dykhuizen, 1973, p. xv). Dewey's areas of work included philosophy, psychology, education, politics, and social thought. At an event in celebration of his 90th birthday, in 1949, Dewey described his life goal as the quest to obtain "a moderately clear and distinct idea of what the problems are that underlie the difficulties and evils which we experience in fact; that is to say, in practical life." This concern with the practical, socially responsible life is a key element of the philosophical concept of pragmatism , which Dewey explicated in many of his writings. Dewey is also considered to be a preeminent voice in American educational philosophy , with emphasis on what is generally called "progressive education." Dewey was just beginning his work in the 1890s, but his lifetime of intellectual accomplishments (40 books and over 700 articles, in addition to countless letters, lectures, and other published works) continue to play an influential role in many fields of knowledge. The Center for Dewey Studies at the University of Southern Illinois is dedicated to promoting ongoing study of the significance of Dewey's work. The Center's Web site includes a sound clip of

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Dewey, John Career at Columbia University. Disagreements between President William Rainey Harper of the University of Chicago and Dewey led, in 1904, to Dewey's resignation of his posts and to his acceptance of a professorship of philosophy at Columbia University in New York City. Dewey was associated with Columbia for 47 years, first as professor and then as professor emeritus of philosophy. During his 25 years of active teaching, his fame and the significance of what he had to say attracted thousands of students from home and abroad to his classes, and he became one of the most widely known and influential teachers in America. Dewey's scholarly output at Columbia was enormous; one bibliography devotes approximately 125 pages to listing the titles of his publications during these years. His thought covered a wide range of topics, including logic and theory of knowledge, psychology, education, social philosophy, fine arts, and religion. Major works dealing with each of these fields appeared over the years and clearly established Dewey as the foremost philosopher in America and as one of the nation's most productive scholars.

John Dewey Jump To Dewey Site Navigation American Pragmatic Philosopher John Dewey (1859-1952) was born the year Charles Darwin published the ground-breaking book Origin of Species . Born at the dawn of the great evolutionary debate that has capped off the long-standing conflict of Religion and Science, it is no surprise that a philosophically-minded man such as Dewey would be influenced by the debateand have his own insightful input. Dewey started his career as a Christian but over his long lifetime moved towards agnosticism. His philosphical writings start out apologetic; over his life he gradually lost interest in formal religion and focused more on democratic ideals. Moreover, he became very devoted to applying the scientific method of inquiry to both democracy and education. Dewey is grouped with Pierce and William James as founders of Pragmatism . Pragmatism has never been concretely defined, but at its core is a philosophical view of human knowledge and thought as being biological in nature; in modern psychological terms, it is equivalent to the gestalt or paradigm theory of knowledgenamely that our knowledge is meaningful in perspective to its relationship to us. Taken to an extreme, it could imply that there is no objectivity to knowledge. While many have criticized pragmatism (and Dewey's opinion), it is obvious from a study of Dewey's writings that he did not deny objective truth. Dewey's efforts at defining pragmatism were essentially an effort to reconcile the fallibility of human perspective in relation to objective reality. It's doubtful that Dewey (or any other philosopher) succeeded in this debate.

Dewey, John From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (John Dee) Next (John Dillinger) John Dewey (October 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952) is regarded as one of the most important philosophers in American history. His work in education , psychology, and social reform has been greatly influential in the United States and around the world. Dewey is also recognized as one of the founders of the philosophical school of pragmatism , the father of functional psychology, and a leading representative of the progressive movement in U.S. education during the first half of the twentieth century. He is known not only for his novel ideas but for his extremely hands-on approach to philosophy. Rather than simply spouting theories, Dewey always tried to put his ideas into action and test them out in the field. He sought to fundamentally change the way people viewed the world by promoting scientific analysis over traditional values and morals. Throughout most of his 92 years, Dewey was an internationally renowned writer, teacher, political reformer, and social activist. He lectured to audiences around the world, he supported the Hull House project in the slums of Chicago , and he was an active member of the American Civil Liberties Union Dewey's extremely scientific and humanistic approach to tackling the issues of his era was radical for its time and remains highly influential today.

Turnabout thoughts in and out of season Home Liberalism ... Liberal and Modernist Thinkers Anti-Dewey Page Thu, 02/12/2004 - 9:27pm — Jim Kalb John Dewey John Dewey (1859-1952) remains an extremely influential thinker whose thought sums up important trends in American life. Many oppose his thought and the trends it favors. He wrote a huge amount (his collected works run to 37 volumes) and frequently expressed himself unclearly or outright contradicted himself. Perhaps as a consequence, too many criticisms of Dewey are uninformed. There are good grounds for criticizing him, however, and the purpose of this page is to help people do so. I turned up the materials in the course of working on my own critical analysis of Dewey's philosophy, and thought it might help others to make them available on the web. The issues presented here can be discussed in our forum. Your participation is welcome. You can also email the author, Jim Kalb , or add a comment at the foot of this page.
