Features: This book collects five famous speeches by Dewey during his visit to China, including "Social Philosophy and Political Philosophy," "Philosophy of Education," "The Schools of Thought," "Three Modern Philosophers," and "A Record of Ethical Lectures." In the appendix, it also includes a speech by Dewey's wife, Alice Chipman, titled "Elementary Education." These speeches were delivered in the 1920s of the 20th century, nearly a century ago. After China rigorously criticized pragmatism in the early 20th century, rereading the thoughts of this founder of pragmatism today is truly awe-inspiring.
