John Dewey Liberty and the Pedagogy of Disposition

John Baldacchino has presented an original engagement on John Dewey's much written about work in this short and economically written book. The freshness of the novel perspectives he creates on the political and educational writings of the great pragmatist philosopher provide challenging and, often, instructive, reading.

This short text provides a highly engaging and beautifully written reassessment of Dewey's work, locating it in the wider intellectual and philosophical discussions about education, politics and life. Without being apologetic, John Baldacchino gives a sympathetic reading that shows the ways in which Dewey's work still raises important questions for education today. A refreshing contribution to Dewey scholarship.
