How We Think

<p>In How We Think Dewey shares his views on the educator's role in training students to think well. Basing his assertions on the belief that knowledge is strictly relative to human interaction with the world he considers the need for thought training its use of natural resources and its place in school conditions; inductive and deductive reasoning interpreting facts and concrete and abstract thinking; the functions of activity language and observation in thought training; and many other subjects. </p><p>John Dewey's influence on American education and philosophy is incalculable. This volume as fresh and inspirational today as it was upon its initial publication a century ago is essential for anyone active in the field of teaching or about to embark on a career in education.</p>
