Nota di contenuto

In search of light in democracy and education: Deweyan growth in an age of nihilism -- Dewey between Hegel and Darwin -- Emerson's voice: Dewey beyond Hegel and Darwin -- Emersonian moral perfectionism: gaining from the closeness between Dewey and Emerson -- Dewey's Emersonian view of ends -- Growth and the social reconstruction of criteria: gaining from the distance between Dewey and Emerson -- The gleam of light: reconstruction toward holistic growth -- The gleam of light lost: transcending the tragic with Dewey after Emerson -- The rekindling of the gleam of light: toward perfectionist education.

Sommario/riassunto

Saito reads Dewey's idea of progressive education through the lens of Emersonian moral perfectionism. She elucidates a spiritual and aesthetic dimension to Dewey's notion of growth, one considerably richer than what Dewey alone presents in his typically scientific terminology.

Sommario/riassunto

The history of unemployment and many concepts surrounding it remain a mystery to many Americans. Frank Stricker believes we need to understand this essential thread in our shared past. 'American Unemployment' is an introduction for everyone that takes aim at misinformation, willful deceptions, and popular myths to set the record straight: Workers do not normally choose to be unemployed.
