Über das eBook

In "China, Japan and the USA," John Dewey navigates the complex interrelations among these three nations during a time marked by rapid political, social, and economic transformations. Combining elements of pragmatism with a keen observational style, Dewey highlights the cultural exchanges and conflicts that shaped modernity in East Asia and the West. His analysis deftly weaves together historical events with philosophical reflections, providing readers with a multifaceted understanding of the shifting dynamics, particularly in the realm of education and democracy, that connect these diverse societies. John Dewey, a pioneering philosopher and educational reformer, was profoundly influenced by his experiences in the early 20th century, where he witnessed the impact of globalization on individual identities and civic responsibility. His commitment to progressive education and democratic ideals propelled him to examine how nations could learn from one another's experiences. This intercultural lens is critical in understanding the underlying currents of thought that inform Dewey's approach in this work, as he seeks not just to critique, but to foster mutual understanding. "China, Japan and the USA" is essential reading for those looking to explore the philosophical and cultural dimensions of international relations. Dewey's insights remain profoundly relevant today, offering valuable perspectives on cooperation, conflict resolution, and the importance of dialogue in a globalized world. This book serves not only as a historical account but as a call to embrace an expansive view of human interaction across cultures.


Über den Autor

John Dewey (1859–1952) was a prominent American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform. Dewey is one of the primary figures associated with the philosophy of pragmatism and is considered one of the fathers of functional psychology. He was a well-known public intellectual during his time, and he also wrote extensively on various aspects of education, ethics, democracy, and inquiry. Dewey's literary corpus includes notable works such as 'Democracy and Education,' 'Experience and Nature,' and 'Logic: The Theory of Inquiry.' While 'China, Japan and the USA' is not among his most commonly recognized titles, it likely reflects his interests in international understanding and educational theory as they apply to geopolitical contexts. Dewey's literary style is characterized by a profound commitment to social and public concerns, an emphasis on practicality and the interconnection of theory and experience. His legacy lays a profound impact on educational practices around the world, introducing concepts such as learning-by-doing and the importance of experiential education. Dewey's work continues to be a subject of analysis and application in various fields including philosophy, education, and politics.
