Individualism Old and New

Beschreibung

Addresses the fear that personal creative potential will be trampled by assembly-line monotony, political bureaucracy, and an industrialised culture of uniformity. This book argues that individualism has in fact been offered a higher plane of technological development upon which to grow, mature, and redefine itself.

Autor

"We are apt to look at the school from an individualistic standpoint, as something between teacher and pupil, or between teacher and parent. That which interests us most is naturally the progress made by the individual child of our acquaintance, his normal physical development, his advance in ability to read, write, and figure, his growth in the knowledge of geography and history, improvement in manners, habits of promptness, order, and industry-it is from such standards as these that we judge the work of the school." John Dewey (1859-1952) was a philosopher, educational reformer, and a psychologist. The School and Society was Dewey's first published book of length on education, and it paved the foundation for his later works on this same topic. Dewey's works are a valuable source of information and anyone interested in learning more about education and child development.
