Demokratisk dannelse udgør sammen med livsoplysning og folkelig oplysning højskolernes hovedsigte. Demokratisk dannelse er dermed ikke et bestemt fag, der skal undervises i, men en del af formålet med den mangfoldighed af aktiviteter i form af undervisning og samvær, der finder sted på højskolerne. Denne antologi ønsker at bidrage til debatten om højskolernes opgave og pædagogik. Gennem bidrag fra højskolefolk, forskere og debattører diskuteres højskolernes forståelse af demokratisk dannelse, hvordan den håndteres i praksis, og hvilke opgaver og udfordringer en demokratisk dannelse i dag må forholde sig til. Bidragene præsenterer ikke et samlet svar på disse spørgsmål. Buddene er mange, og tager både afsæt i højskolernes overordnede opgave og den konkrete pædagogiske praksis. Alligevel er der en række temaer eller røde tråde, der går igen på tværs af de forskellige bidrag. Det drejer sig blandt andet om højskolen som eksperimentarium, nødvendigheden af en åben dannelse, forholdet mellem individ og fællesskab samt betydningen af erfaring og handling. Højskolens opgave og pædagogik angår imidlertid ikke kun højskolerne selv. Foruden at være relevant for folk med en generel interesse for demokratisk dannelse, kan antologien også læses som et indlæg i en større diskussion om, hvordan vi som samfund forholder os til spørgsmål om skole, pædagogik, dannelse og demokrati.

The great 20th century philosopher delivered these lectures in China, which are available now to the public for the first time. The lectures show Dewey at the height of his powers, discussing and criticizing various schools of philosophyΓÇöincluding his own experimental position. For the first time DeweyΓÇÖs thinking crystallized into systematic form, thus the lectures are important not only philosophically but historically. In A Survey of Greek Philosophy Dewey gives a brief but comprehensive account of Greek philosophy from prehistory through Aristotle. DeweyΓÇÖs original English notes were lost, but the material in this book has been edited and translated from Chinese newspapers of the 1920s by Professor Robert W. Clopton and Dr. Tsuin-Chen Ou. Samuel Meyer has provided a lucid and thorough introduction. Not to be missed by anyone interested in the development of DeweyΓÇÖs thought and of 20th century philosophy. ΓÇ£. . . the most complete presentation of DeweyΓÇÖs theory of the development of philosophy, in prose simpler and clearer than he himself ever provided . . . Types of Thinking deserves a place in every subject collection.ΓÇ¥ΓÇöLibrary Journal

John Dewey: Dictionary of Education is a comprehensive resource on John DeweyΓÇÖs approach to education. With smart, concise definitions pertaining to DeweyΓÇÖs philosophies, editor Ralph B. Winn has constructed a classic dictionary and indispensible tool for anyone who wants ready access to Dewey''s most incisive thought on crucial points in the study of education. John Dewey was the most famous teacher of philosophy in the early twentieth century, and he was known for his lifelong work to reform AmericaΓÇÖs educational system. Dewey was born in Burlington, Vermont in 1859 to strict Calvinist parents. After graduating from the University of Vermont, Dewey taught high school and studied philosophy in his spare time. He finished his doctorate degree at Johns Hopkins University and continued to teach at various universities around the country, finally landing at Columbia University. While in New York, Dewey became involved in political groups and founded what would become the progressive education movement, which purported that students should learn to think for themselves to become active participants of a democratic society. He was also a founding member of the NAACP and the ACLU. At this time, Dewey was influenced by Karl Marx, and after traveling to different countries to study their educational systems, praised Soviet education and came under scrutiny in the United States. Dewey continued his political and philosophical efforts until his death in 1952.
