Who this is
“Dewey spent ninety-two years arguing that thinking, learning, and self-government are not three activities but one — the ongoing experiment of people improving their shared life together.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Ideas are not mirrors held up to a finished world; they are tools for solving problems — and democracy, education, and science are all the same tool used at different scales.”
