“…Dewey's philosophy situates humanity’s development—which is arguably the cause of the Anthropocene—as the primary ethical pursuit. As a humanist, the philosopher rejects theism and even the capitalism of the industrial era, seeking to replace both with humanitas , the insertion of the logical, thoughtful human who should center the educational process (Karier 1969 ). His Pragmatism functions to serve the humanist goal of “an expansion, not a contraction, of human life, an expansion in which nature and the science of nature are made the willing servants of human good” ( Dewey 1987a , p. 266, emphasis in original).…”

“…Without abundant store of natural resources, equal liberty for all is out of the question. (Dewey 1987b , p. 251) This progressivist view continues to position nature as something in service to man. It presumes that the Earth’s resources are meant to be reaped by mankind and that governments should manage their equal distribution.…”

“…In an almost emblematic testament to the two pillars, his doctoral thesis (now lost to us) was entitled “The Psychology of Kant”. His love for the beauty of science (Karier 1969 ) and his personal morality inspired him to create a philosophic system that argued for a scientifically sculpted egalitarian cause. In the science curriculum, student-centeredness ensures that nature cannot be the basis for instruction; other subjects share in this student-centered bias.…”

This article seeks to use Dewey’s interpretation of pragmatism and education as a model for how dominant notions of school exemplify a colonizing theory of nature. The article argues that Dewey sought to commodify nature as a tool for human progress. This aspect of Dewey’s beliefs is further demonstrated in the kind of schooling that is being implemented through globalization. The article draws on Indigenous concepts of the nature and the Earth, for decolonizing science instruction in an elementary classroom.

El individualismo democrático de John Dewey. Reflexiones en torno a la construcción de una cultura democrática

Rivera¹

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

"En contraste con diversas formas de ""viejo individualismo"" y en diálogo con la tradición individualista norteamericana (Emerson, Whitman, James), la presente Tesis Doctoral se propone mostrar, desde la perspectiva de John Dewey en qué consiste, por una parte, un individualismo que sea compatible con la democracia, entendida como ""forma de vida"", y no sólo como forma de gobierno, y, por la otra, por qué y cómo la auténtica democracia sólo es posible cuando los individuos son, en palabras de Dewey, ""el centro y la consumación de la experiencia"". Tras definir el individualismo democrático en el contexto de la filosofía de la experiencia del filósofo norteamericano, el trabajo intenta delinear los rasgos esenciales de la concepción de democracia como ""forma de vida"", para, finalmente, abordar las consecuencias que ello tiene para la construcción de una cultura democrática en aspectos tan fundamentales de ésta como el trabajo, la ciencia, la tecnología, el arte, la religión y la filosofía. La Tesis Doctoral se realizó en dialogo directo con la obra del autor en su lengua original y en la edición más completa de ésta hasta ahora conocida. El autor de la Tesis tradujo directamente del original inglés todos los textos citados. Se consultaron para su realización muy diversas obras en inglés, español y otras lenguas."
