経歴と著者の歩み
John Dewey was born in Burlington, Vermont, on October 20, 1859, and came of age in a period when American intellectual life was widening beyond inherited religious and philosophical certainties. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Vermont in 1879 and his doctorate in philosophy from Johns Hopkins University in 1884, where exposure to both idealism and experimental psychology helped shape the direction of his thought. After teaching at Michigan and then Chicago, he became one of the leading figures in American pragmatism, arguing that ideas should be judged by how they work in lived experience rather than by abstract perfection alone. His years at the University of Chicago, including work connected to the Laboratory School, marked a decisive turning point: education became for him not a narrow specialty but the testing ground for democracy itself.
