Course Description: This semester, we will discuss the works and influence of one of the most popular Pragmatist and American Philosopher, John Dewey. He “was the dominant voice in American philosophy through the world wars, the Great Depression, and the nascent years of the Cold War.” 

If you are an educator, reading John Dewey is a must. His prolific contributions to Philosophy of Education make him a pioneer in progressive education as well as pedagogy in general. His thoughts on Metaphysics, Epistemology, Aesthetics, and Socio-Political Philosophy give us a holistic account of the nature of philosophical pursuits without the rigidness of a schematic approach.
