John Dewey's best-known and still-popular classic,Democracy and Education,is presented here as a new edition in Volume 9 of the Middle Works. Sidney Hook, who wrote the introduction to this volume, describesDemocracy and Education:"It illuminates directly or indirectly all the basic issues that are central today to the concerns of intelligent educators. . . . It throws light on several obscure corners in Dewey's general philosophy in a vigorous, simple prose style often absent in his more technical writings. And it is the only work in any field originally published as a textbook that has not merely acquired the status of a classic, but has become the one book that no student concerned with the philosophy of education today should leave unread." Dewey said in 1930thatDemocracy and Education,"was for many years the one [book] in which my philosophy . . . was most fully expounded."John Dewey is the author of 'The Middle Works of John Dewey, Volume 9, 1899-1924: Democracy and Education, 1916 (Collected Works of John Dewey)', published 1985 under ISBN 9780809312597 and ISBN 080931259X.
