Abstract

[John Dewey’s philosophy of experience offers a view of the nature of nature than can help us to reconceive schooling. Dewey offers us a set of the generic traits of existences, including interaction, temporality, complexity, and qualitative uniqueness. When we experience doubt or uncertainty, we examine distinctions and relations as part of inquiry, which is how we deal with environmental complexity. We acquire habits, including knowledge and meaning, through the use of intelligence and imagination in the attempt to secure desired goods. An example of social inquiry is given and discussed, with an emphasis on the difference between standards and criteria.]
