Description: John Dewey quote: Freedom of thought and of expression are not mere rights to be claimed. They have their roots deep in the existence of individuals as developing careers in time.

Description: John Dewey (1859–1952), an American philosopher, psychologist, and reformer of education was a leader in the philosophical movement of pragmatism. He was very instrumental in changing the social practice of learning by rote to learning by doing, and considered public education as one of the cornerstones of democracy. As this cornerstone has eroded significantly in recent decades (hence, the upside down flag signaling distress), we would do well to remember these words in order to prevent further erosion.

Description: John Dewey quote: The mystery is that the world is at it is -- a mystery that is the source of all joy and all sorrow, of all hope and fear, and the source of development both creative and degenerative. The contingency of all into which time enters is the source of pathos, comedy, and tragedy.
Description: John Dewey quote: The rise of new science in the seventeenth century laid hold upon general culture in the next century. The enlightenment... testified to the widespread belief that at last light had dawned, that dissipation of ignorance, superstition, and bigotry was at hand, and the triumph of reason was assured -- for reason was counterpart in man of the laws of nature which science was disclosing. The reign of law in the natural world was to be followed by the reign of law in human affairs.
