Dewey, John (1859-1952)

An American philosopher whose field of study, sowed with concerns of a democratic and humanist nature, extended to applied psychology and pedagogy. He has remained particularly known for his theory of empirically founded knowledge: an initiator of learning processes through action, making experience the springboard of knowledge, he has considerably influenced current concepts in teaching. Witness to this are the scores of publications, amongst which stands out the book Democracy and Teaching.
