Reviews

""Michael Festl has edited a stimulating and wide-ranging collection of essays on the relevance of John Dewey’s philosophy of education, which should engage anyone with a stake in Dewey’s social and political philosophy, the philosophy of education, and what are nervously packaged as ‘current challenges’ to democracy."" Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
