<div><P><B>A lost series of lectures on the history of philosophy, first delivered in China, now available in English for the first time.</B></P><P>This volume reconstructs a series of lectures delivered by John Dewey during his historic trip to China. Though Dewey&rsquo;s original notes were lost, Prof. Robert W. Clopton and Dr. Tsuin-Chen Ou were able to translate his works as they appeared in Chinese newspapers.</P><P>Beyond their historical significance, these lectures show Dewey at the height of his power, discussing and criticizing various schools of philosophy. This includes a brief but comprehensive account of Greek philosophy from the pre-Socratics through Aristotle. Dewey also discusses his own experimental thinking, presenting his position in systematic form for the first time.</P> &ldquo;The most complete presentation of Dewey&rsquo;s theory of the development of philosophy, in prose simpler and clearer than he himself ever provided . . . <I>Types of Thinking</I> deserves a place in every subject collection.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Library Journal</I></div>

Types of Thinking Including a Survey of Greek Philosophy

<div><B>The great education theorist’s most lucid and concise statement on the needs, problems, and possibilities of education.</B><br/><br/><I>Experience and Education</I> is the most lucid and concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than twenty years after his comprehensive work, <I>Democracy and Education</I>, it demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas in light of his experience with progressive schools.<br/><br/>Analyzing both “traditional” and “progressive” education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither is adequate because they each fail to apply the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Dewey goes on to illustrate his ideas for a philosophy of experience and its vital relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators should consider the larger issues of education rather than thinking in terms of some divisive “ism” —even one as high-minded as “progressivism.”<br/><br/>Dewey’s philosophy, here expressed in its most essential form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, offering a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.</div>

Experience & Education

<div>This edition brings Dewey's educational theory into sharp focus, framing his two classic works by frank assessments, past and present, of the practical applications of Dewey's ideas. In addition to a substantial introduction in which Philip W. Jackson explains why more of Dewey's ideas haven't been put into practice, this edition restores a "lost" chapter, dropped from the book by Dewey in 1915.</div>
