Produktbeschreibung

Dewey wrote his book on Democracy and Education over a hundred years ago. This book asks why education has nevertheless failed to deliver such crucial support for democracy and how it should change to reflect ethical and social responsibilities. It seeks to shed light on what has gone wrong and how it can be put right.
