John Dewey quotes
John Dewey was an influential American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer. His work laid the foundation for progressive education and emphasized learning through experience. He became a leading voice in promoting democracy, critical thinking, and active participation in education. Here are 84 of his quotes:
...classic philosophy maintained that change, and consequently time, are marks of inferior reality, holding that true and ultimate reality is immutable and eternal. Human reasons, all too human, have given birth to the idea that over and beyond the lower realm of things that shift like the sands on the seashore there is the kingdom of the unchanging, of the complete, the perfect. The grounds for the belief are couched in the technical language of philosophy, but the grounds for the cause is the heart's desire for surcease from change, struggle, and uncertainty. The eternal and immutable is the consummation of mortal man's quest for certainty.
