All reforms which rest simply upon the law, or the threatening of certain penalties, or upon changes in mechanical or outward arrangements, are transitory and futile.... But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move.... Education thus conceived marks the most perfect and intimate union of science and art conceivable in human experience."

To do so requires that we understand different types of value judgments in functional terms, as forms of conduct that play distinctive roles in the life of reflective, social beings. Dewey thereby offers a naturalistic metaethic of value judgments, grounded in developmental and social psychology. While habits incorporate purposes and socially meaningful ideas, they operate beneath the actor's consciousness. Once people have learned how to achieve some purpose and entrenched that mode of conduct in a habit or skill, they no longer need to tend to what they are doing in achieving it. Such tending may even interfere with successful performance. Habits, by receding from awareness, conserve people's reflective resources, make their activity fluid, and enable them to reliably produce certain results (provided the environment remains the same). People's habits thereby embody their characters (HNC 33-43, 50-2). Habits also tend to be self-perpetuating and difficult to modify because people form attachments to them. They experience disruptions of their habits with alarm, displeasure, offense, even outrage. Prevailing ideologies represent current customs as right and inviolable. These facts pose obstacles to deliberate social change. Dewey placed his hopes for change in the education of youth, whose impulses have not yet been channeled into rigid habits. How could adults with already entrenched habits impart less rigid habits to the next generation? Dewey answered: by instituting forms of education that instill habits of independent thought, critical inquiry, observation, experimentation, foresight, and imagination, including sympathy with others (DE; HNC 127-8). Such education can make habits themselves more flexible and responsive to changes in the context and consequences of conduct. It enables habits to incorporate intelligence.

Dewey, John
Glossary of Religion and Philosophy Short Biography of john dewey.
http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/general/bldef_deweyjohn.htm

Extractions: John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist and educator who promoted the philosophies of both pragmatism and humanism. Although he started out as a liberal Protestant, after he moved to the University of Chicago in 1894 he abandoned his attempts to reconcile Christianity with modern society and modern values. Instead, he argued that true religion in the modern sense was best expressed through modern institutions like democracy, art, and the pursuit of scientific knowledge. Select Quotes It (modern philosophy) certainly exacts a surrender of all supernaturalism and fixed dogma and rigid institutionalism with which Christianity has been historically associated. [source unknown] Intellectually, religious emotions are not creative but conservative. They attach themselves readily to the current view of the world and consecrate it. [source unknown]

Extractions: John Dewey Jim Garrison College of Human Resources and Education Virginia Tech John Dewey (1859-1952) was a pragmatic philosopher, psychologist, and educator commonly regarded as the founder of the progressive education movement. Dewey was born in Burlington, Vermont on October 20, 1859. His father was a grocer and Civil War Veteran, his mother a strong-willed evangelical Congregationalist noted for her work with the city's poor. John was a shy and self-conscious boy, and as a man, he never entirely lost these qualities. In 1875, he enrolled in the University of Vermont where he took his BA degree. Although his interest in philosophy emerged as an undergraduate, he was uncertain about his future. He taught high school for two years in Oil City, Pennsylvania, and then one more year back in his hometown of Burlington where he arranged for private tutorials in philosophy with his former teacher H. A. P. Torry. Eventually Hall received the only available professorship in philosophy, so Morris left for a position in the philosophy department at the University of Michigan. After several difficult months of unemployment, Dewey joined his mentor in 1884 at Michigan as an instructor. He spent the next decade there, except for one year at the University of Minnesota. During these years, Dewey wrote, although with decaying conviction, in the Hegelian tradition of idealism as he found it expressed by British Idealists such as Thomas Hill Green. Dewey never cared for rote memorization of facts, formulas, or mere job training. He did not, however, think educators should ignore issues of social control and classroom discipline or the control implicitly contained in the academic disciplines and skilled practices. He recognized that freedom implies both negative freedom, or freedom from constraint, as well as positive freedom, or freedom for something, some value, some goal. Freedom for requires personal discipline. His 1938 Experience and Education was written to correct the excesses of those progressive educators who seemed to think "almost any kind of spontaneous activity inevitably secures the desired or desirable training of mental power" (LW 8: 153).

John Dewey, from his Introduction to F. M. Alexander's third book, The Use of the Self F. Matthias Alexander(1869-1955) was an Australian who made some very important discoveries about human functioning and behavior, and how individuals could be taught to improve these qualities in themselves. Alexander's discoveries, and the practical methods he and his followers developed for teaching them, form the basis of what has become known today as the Alexander Technique. Dewey met Alexander in during World War I when Alexander was visiting New York and he had his first lessons from Alexander at that time. Dewey was then in his fifties, and he continued taking Alexander Technique lessons for the next 35 years. Freedom to Change by Frank Pierce Jones.)

All of these so-called paradigms reject traditional epistemological claims about knowledge as an objective representation of ‘reality’. Their arguments are, however, only rarely directed against inherited traditional conceptions. Rather, it are the newly formulated alternatives which serve as points of reference. Constructivist ‘paradigms’ are most of all elaborated in debate with fellow-alternatives. new epistemology? What is its position vis-à-vis the scientific and philosophical tradition? To point out the relevance and the consequences of a constructivist theory of knowledge, one should first of all clarify its basic intuition. In our view, the hard core of constructivism concerns the reconcilability of, on the one hand
