"I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform. 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."
--John Dewey, My Pedagogic Creed, 1897

The John Dewey Society encourages, through its publications and programs, careful and responsible examination of our most basic educational and cultural commitments.

NEW MEMBERS receive a book-length publication of the annual John Dewey Lecture, published by Teachers College Press as these books become available.

All members receive annual subscription to the Society's journals, Education and Culture (2 issues per year) and Insights (2 issues per year). New members also receive a copy of Crusade for Democracy: Progressive Education at the Crossroads by Daniel Tanner, published by SUNY Press (2002).
