What Is the Purpose of Education?: Dewey's Challenge to His Contemporaries On Chapter 9: Natural Development and Social Efficiency as Aims

Avi I Mintz; Leonard J. Waks; Andrea R. English

When Dewey articulated his “democratic conception of education” in Chapter Seven, he applied the standards it entailed to the educational philosophies of Plato, Rousseau, Fichte and Hegel. In his positive account of democratic education, coupled with his critique of these influential educational philosophies, Dewey had consciously staked a position in a conversation about the purpose of education that has spanned millennia. Then, after identifying the flaws in those historical accounts, Dewey outlined criteria for good educational aims in Chapter Eight.
