Description
A landmark work in educational philosophy, this book explores how learning can prepare individuals not only for work, but for active participation in democratic life. It challenges rigid, passive models of schooling in favor of purposeful activity, shared inquiry, and real-world experiences that connect knowledge to the needs of a community. Drawing on psychology, ethics, and social theory, it examines the relationship between education, intellectual growth, and social progress. Its influential vision helped shape progressive and experiential approaches to teaching that continue to inform debates about schools and citizenship.
