1859-1952. US philosopher who believed that
the exigencies of a democratic and industrial
society demanded new educational techniques.
He expounded his ideas in numerous writings,
including School and Society 1899, and
founded a progressive school in Chicago. A
pragmatist thinker, influenced by William
James, Dewey maintained that there is only
the reality of experience and made `inquiry'
the essence of logic.
