Book Reviews of The Education of John Dewey
Book Review: 2 1/2 Stars, Actually
Summary: 3 Stars
It is heartening to see that this book is NOT subject to the "star inflation" that plagues much of this website! [I mean, do you really think a majority of books should receive 4 or 5 stars!]. "The Education of John Dewey" is a solid biography of an interesting man who played an important role in American intellectual history. However, the book just didn't grab me. Not like "Lincoln's Virtues: an Ethical Biography" for example. One note about Dewey's philosophy. I don't see what was so new about pragmatism/naturalism/progressivism or whatever you want to call it. Wasn't Dewey's emphasis on the importance of the continuing pursuit of truth just a modern version of the Socratic method????????
