A Companion to John Dewey's "Democracy and Education" - Grand Format

Despite its profound importance as a foundational text in education, John Dewey's magnum opus, Democracy and Education, is notoriously difficult and - dare we say it - a little dry. In this charming and often funny companion, noted philosopher of education D. C. Phillips goes chapter by chapter to bring Dewey to a twenty-first-century audience. Drawing on over fifty years of thinking about this book - and on his own experiences as an educator - he lends it renewed clarity and a personal touch, offering a lively accompaniment that helps us celebrate and be enriched by some of the most treasured ideas ever offered in education.
