John Dewey believed in education, and he believed in American participatory democracy. Simpson uses personal anecdotes, Dewey s extensive writings, and even Chinese legends to discuss Dewey s ideas about teaching democracy, independent thinking, and a sense of community. They are as relevant today as when they were written. --Book Jacket.
