Frases de John Dewey

John Dewey fue un pedagogo, psicólogo y filósofo estadounidense.

En palabras del catedrático de Historia Robert B. Westbrook, Dewey fue «el filósofo estadounidense más importante de la primera mitad del siglo XX»,[1]​ y, junto con Charles Sanders Peirce y William James, uno de los fundadores de la filosofía del pragmatismo. Asimismo, durante la primera mitad del siglo XX fue la figura más representativa de la pedagogía progresista en Estados Unidos. Aunque se le conoce más por sus escritos sobre educación, Dewey también escribió influyentes tratados sobre arte, lógica, ética y democracia, en donde su postura se basaba en que solo se podría alcanzar la plena democracia a través de la educación y la sociedad civil. En este sentido, abogaba por una opinión pública plenamente informada mediante la comunicación efectiva entre ciudadanos, expertos y políticos, con estos últimos siendo plenamente responsables ante la ciudadanía por las políticas adoptadas.

La influencia de Dewey sigue siendo discutida hoy día respecto a los fallos del sistema escolar estadounidense: por un lado, es criticado por los conservadores fundamentalistas,[cita requerida] y por otra parte es considerado el «precursor inspirador de los reformadores partidarios de una enseñanza “centrada en el niño”».[1]​ Wikipedia

John Dewey: Frases en inglés

“The only way to abolish war is to make peace heroic.”

James Hinton, Philosophy and Religion: Selections from the Manuscripts of the Late James Hinton, ed. Caroline Haddon, (2nd ed., London: 1884), [//books.google.com/books?id=DpxRAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA267 p. 267].
Widely misattributed on the internet to Dewey, who actually attributes it to Hinton in Human Nature and Conduct: An Introduction to Social Psychology (New York: 1922), [//books.google.com/books?id=Ws0RAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA115 p. 115].
Misattributed

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”

This is a paraphrase of an idea that Dewey expressed using other words in My Pedagogic Creed (1897) and Democracy and Education (1916); it is widely misattributed to Dewey as a quotation.
Cf. James William Norman, A Comparison of Tendencies in Secondary Education in England and the United States (New York: Teachers College, Columbia University, 1922), [//books.google.com/books?id=qrmgAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA140 p. 140] (emphasis added): "...there has for years been a strong and growing tendency in the United States under the leadership of Dewey, and more recently of Kilpatrick, to find an educational method correlative of democracy in society with the belief that education is life itself rather than a mere preparation for life, and that practice in democratic living is the best preparation for democracy."
Misattributed
Variante: Education is a social process; education is growth; education is not preparation for life but is life itself.

“Democracy has to be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.”

The Need of an Industrial Education in an Industrial Democracy (1916)
Misc. Quotes
Contexto: It is no accident that all democracies have put a high estimate upon education; that schooling has been their first care and enduring charge. Only through education can equality of opportunity be anything more than a phrase. Accidental inequalities of birth, wealth, and learning are always tending to restrict the opportunities of some as compared with those of others. Only free and continued education can counteract those forces which are always at work to restore, in however changed a form, feudal oligarchy. Democracy has to be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.

“To free one's mind of chains is to free it of the care of what is acceptable or viewed so by society, this is when true freedom is discovered.”

This text is commentary (not a quotation of Dewey) that was added to this page at [//en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=John_Dewey&diff=prev&oldid=896209 05:36, 2 February 2009 (UTC)]; the text was later removed from this page but not before being misattributed to Dewey on several web sites, including in a sermon given at an Episcopal church https://web.archive.org/web/20160304201732/http://www.trinitywhitinsville.org/sermons/theprudenceofgenerosity.html. The statement was commenting on a quotation from Democracy and Education (1916): "The first step in freeing men from external chains was to emancipate them from the internal chains of false beliefs and ideals."
Misattributed
