John Dewey

John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer, and one of the most prominent scholars in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. A belief in democracy runs through his work, and he argued that schools and public life should help people learn by doing and by testing ideas. How We Think, first published in 1910, is a short book on training the habits of careful reflection, written for teachers and general readers.
