Dworkin has gathered some of Dewey's clearest and most characteristic statements on education and set them in the stream of American social and intellectual history. In addition, he has indicated some of the rich literature available to those who would probe more deeply into Dewey's ideas and the context in which they matured.
This is an incredible collection of some of Dewey's most famous and most important writings. It is hard to believe that, after 100 years, his ideas and teachings are still just as relevant today as they were when he wrote them. I found this book to be a great inspiration for my classroom teaching, and something for me to seriously consider in terms of education policy today.
