{"product_id":"john-dewey-richard-pring-9781472518774","title":"John Dewey","description":"Bertrand Russell's \u003ci\u003eHistory of Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e refers to Dewey as 'generally admitted to be the leading living philosopher of America'. This honourable mention lay partly in his pragmatic theory of meaning, through which so many baffling philosophical problems were claimed to have been solved - as well as educational ones. It is in connection with his educational ideas, however, that Dewey became either famous or infamous. In the United States he had been seen both as saviour of American education by those who welcomed a more child-centred curriculum, and yet as 'worse than Hitler' by those who saw his ideas as undermining traditional education - an accusation shared by his detractors in Britain. This account seeks to bring together Dewey's educational thinking and its frequently forgotten foundations in a pragmatic theory of meaning. In so doing, the book seeks to show that John Dewey is 'a philosopher of education for our time'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Pring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472518772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472518774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Richard Pring","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985678270719,"sku":"9781472518774","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_752f6832-91f9-4974-8488-159c1a3b4e69.jpg?v=1683278923","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-dewey-richard-pring-9781472518774","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
