Democracy and Education Reconsidered: Dewey After One Hundred Years

Democracy and Education Reconsidered highlights the continued relevance of John Deweys Democracy and Education while also examining the need to reconstruct and re-contextualize Deweys educational philosophy for our time. The authors propose ways of revising Deweys thought in light of the challenges facing contemporary education and society, and address other themes not touched upon heavily in Deweys work, such as racism, feminism, post-industrial capitalism, and liquid modernity. As a final component, the authors integrate Deweys philosophy with more recent trends in scholarship, including pragmatism, post-structuralism, and the works of other key philosophers and scholars.
