Book Description
The nineteenth century, which saw the triumph of the idea of progress and improvement, saw also the triumph of science as a political and cultural force. In England, as science and its methods claimed privilege and space, its language acquired the vocabulary of religion. The new ’creed’ of science embraced what John Tyndall called the ’scientific movement’; it was, in the language of T.H. Huxley, a militant creed. The ’march’ of invention, the discoveries of chemistry, and the wonders of steam and electricity culminated in a crusade against ignorance and unbelief. It was a creed that looked to its own apostolic succession from Copernicus, Galileo and the martyrs of the ’scientific revolution’. Yet, it was a creed whose doctrines were divisive, and whose convictions resisted. Alongside arguments for materialism, utility, positivism, and evolutionary naturalism, persisted reservations about the nature of man, the role of ethics, and the limits of scientific method. These essays discuss leading strategists in the scientific movement of late-Victorian England. At the same time, they show how ’science established’ served not only the scientific community, but also the interests of imperial and colonial powers.

Book Description
This carefully crafted ebook: "Collected Writings on Education: My Pedagogic Creed + The School and Society + The Child and the Curriculum + Moral Principles in Education + Interest and Effort in Education + Democracy and Education" contains 6 books in one volume and is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Dewey's educational theories were presented in My Pedagogic Creed, The School and Society, The Child and the Curriculum, Democracy and Education and Experience and Education. Throughout these writings, several recurrent themes ring true; Dewey continually argues that education and learning are social and interactive processes, and thus the school itself is a social institution through which social reform can and should take place. In addition, he believed that students thrive in an environment where they are allowed to experience and interact with the curriculum, and all students should have the opportunity to take part in their own learning.

Book Description
This fifth and concluding volume of The Early Works of John Dewey is the only one of the series made up entirely of essays. The appear-ance during the four-year period, 1895-98, of thirty-eight items amply indicates that Dewey continued to maintain a high level of published out-put. These were the years of Dewey's most extensive work and involvement at the University of Chicago. Like its predecessors in this series, this volume presents a clear text, free of interpretive or reference material. Apparatus, including references, corrections, and emendations, is confined to appendix material. Fredson Bowers, the Consulting Textual Editor, has provided an essay on the textual principles and procedures, and William P. McKenzie, Professor of Philoso-phy and Education at Southern Illinois University, has written an introduc-tion identifying the thread connecting the apparently diffuse material in the many articles of this volume--Dewey's attempt to unite philosophy with psychology and sociology and with education.
