“…The development of populism as a philosophy by the American philosopher John Dewey largely emphasized on the pragmatic application of ideas and the importance of experiences in shaping knowledge and perception in China, which have been entailed in various discourses (Boyte, 2007; Raber, 2020; Zhu, 2019). Various Chinese scholarships re-examining perceptions about Dewey’s influence on China’s intellectual life have shown that Dewey had a huge impact in the processes of learning and thought as well as on various facets on knowledge, theory and practices in Chinese education and intellectual life (Guo, 2023; Gou & Lee, 2023; Liu, 2023; Ye, 2023), as well as Dewey’s pragmatism in Chinese education and its influence on the New Culture Movement (Wang, 2023; Zhu, 2019).…”

Populist protests in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have recently emerged as a reaction against the Chinese authorities’ stringent measures under its dynamic zero-COVID policy. Besides the vehement criticism and protests against the dynamic zero-COVID policy, during some protests, there have been ensuing calls across the country for President Xi Jinping to step down. The article argues that this scenario can further deteriorate the overall political legitimacy of the Communist Party of China on a long-term basis. According to the article, the protests indicate the re-emergence of populism in the PRC, which incidentally and historically has parallels to the protests at Tiananmen Square, and the 1919 May Fourth Movement. The article theorizes John Dewey’s concept of ‘pragmatic populism’ and the aspect of protests during the period, which inherently provides many ideational and relational facets with the recent protests in China.

“…From this epistemological point of view, democracy is made up of free and open experimental learning processes and is judged by their ability to develop and sustain such processes (e.g. Anderson, 2006; Festenstein, 2019; Capps, 2020; Knight and Johnson, 2011; Raber, 2020). In this way, Dewey and pragmatism more widely has been one resource for the efflorescence of political epistemology (e.g.…”

This article surveys recent work in pragmatism and political theory. In doing so, it shows both how recent work on pragmatism has secured the view that at its core is a set of arguments about the character of democracy – although the character of those arguments is open to debate and reimagination – and how pragmatist arguments have been reinterpreted and deployed to address contemporary concerns and approaches. This charts a terrain of live disagreements rather than settled opinion.
