\n Some hundred years after John Dewey worked to illuminate what it means to educate and how public education serves as the bedrock of democracy, his seminal Democracy and Education speaks urgently not only to critical contemporary educational issues but to contemporary political issues as well. As mania for testing forces a steadily narrowing curriculum, Dewey explains why democracy cannot \u201cflourish\u201d if \u201cthe chief influences in selecting subject matter of instruction are utilitarian ends narrowly conceived for the masses.\u201d As such utilitarian subject matter is increasingly placed online, isolating individual students and their electronic screens, he insists that education happens not through direct instruction but \u201cindirectly by means of the environment\u201d where members of a community engage in meaningful tasks. As the American population appears increasingly subject to rhetorical manipulation and ideological extremism, Dewey imagines the possibility of education cultivating \u201chabits of mind which secure social changes without introducing disorder.\u201d Insightful and inspiring, Dewey\u2019s classic reintroduces readers to educational and political possibilities hard to remember as political and corporate forces to work reshape American public schools in the service of global profit rather than democratic life.<\/p>\n
