“Democracy and Education” is a truly wonderful book with none of the dogmatic pretense or “scientific methods” features in so many competing treatises. John Dewey’s ideas are fresh, original, and beautifully crafted. Rather than presenting Dewey’s ideas as explicit recommendations to be implemented, “Democracy and Education” provides a general exploration of educational aims and processes.

There are variety of editions of this title. As another reviewer noted, some of the editions are poorly editted and formatted.
I have this edition of Democracy And Education : Complete And Unabridged (please click the link) and I can tell you that it is both nicely formatted and editted. So because you want it, pick the correct edition.
Also, the edition I have is called “Complete and Unabridged”, unlike some other editions which don’t make that claim.
Rating: 5 / 5

This edition of the book is absolutely awful. The type is small and printed in a grayish fuzzy font that is hard to read. The margins are almost nonexistent. There is no space to write notes, not even at the bottom of the page. You will notice that this book is only 194 pages, whereas I recently found a very good used copy that is 378 pages. Both are unabridged, but in this edition the text is crammed onto the pages. Also, just scanning through the book today I quickly found two typos. Avoid this cheaply constructed edition. I sincerely hope Amazon stops selling it.
