Description
In this episode of 'Reviving Virtue,' we scrutinize John Dewey's political and social philosophy, specifically focusing on his idea of democracy as a way of life and its profound implications on our societal structures. We examine his unique approach to democracy as an interactional and communicative process, as well as exploring the importance of habit and impulse in democratic engagements. Dewey's critique of American philosophy and his call for its reformation is also covered. Join us as we delve into his ideas on creative actions' potential to initiate societal transformation and how we, as a society, can navigate the crossroads of democracy we currently face.Link to the book with the chapter explored: Reading Dewey: Interpretations for a Postmodern Generation – Chapter 5. “Dewey’s Social and Political Philosophy” by John StuhrContact:revivingvirtue@gmail.com
