Democracy and Education

By: John Dewey

Democracy and Education (1916) by John Dewey argues that education is the foundation of a healthy democracy. Dewey sees education not as rote learning, but as a social process through which individuals grow by participating in shared experiences. Schools, he claims, should mirror democratic life by encouraging cooperation, critical thinking, and problem-solving rather than passive obedience. Knowledge, in Dewey's view, emerges from experience and action, so learning must connect with real-life situations. Ultimately, the book presents education as a means of fostering intelligent, adaptable citizens capable of contributing meaningfully to a democratic society.
