Politics in the Classroom | John Dewey on Education
Logos Podcast
Discover the profound impact of John Deweys philosophy on public education, politics, and society. Was Deweys vision of education simply about fostering democracy, or did it have deeper ideological roots? In this episode, we explore Deweys ideas on the role of the state in shaping the education system, his approach to democracy and social reform, and whether his influence aligns with Marxist and communist principles. Join us for a deep dive into the intersections of philosophy, education, and politics, and unravel the controversies surrounding one of the most influential thinkers in modern education.
