Dewey john democracy and education5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The methodology of pragmatism makes it possible to resolve contradictions in education. An investigation is pursued into what role the activity of the subject plays in the learning process, how the importance of freedom is substantiated in communication, and what place in the face of contemporary civilisational challenges has experience as a medium of true knowledge for becoming the ideals of a democratic society.Ĭonclusion. The research identified the philosophical dimension of education, making it possible to understand the nature of learning in pragmatism. Such philosophical methods as hermeneutics (to take into account the socio-cultural context in the process of investigating the content of primary sources), interpretation (to study the basic theoretical foundations of the educational process and to explain their practical value) and comparative analysis (to identify similarities or differences between different ideas and conceptions) are applied. The article is based on a conceptually extended literature review. The aim of the research is to analyse the capabilities of Dewey’s pragmatism in the philosophy of education as a medium for affirming today’s values of democracy. ![]() Philosophy of education, democratic values, Dewey’s pragmatism AbstractĪim.

Invisible by james patterson5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() It will just hurt for a few minutes, it will be teeth-gnashing, gut-twisting agony, but then the heat will shrivel off my nerve endings and I’ll feel nothing, or better yet I’ll pass out from carbon monoxide poisoning. This is my last chance, and I know, but don’t want to think about, what happens if I fail-that I have to start preparing myself for the pain. ![]() The enemy is cornering me, daring me, Go ahead, Emmy, go for the window, Emmy. Still a chance to jump off the bed to the left and run for the window, the only part of the bedroom still available. The orange flames rippling across the ceiling above me, dancing around my bed, almost in rhythm, a taunting staccato, popping and crackling, like it’s not a fire but a collection of flames working together collectively, they want me to know, as they bob up and down and spit and cackle, as they slowly advance, This time it’s too late, Emmy. The putrid black smoke that singes my nostril hairs and pollutes my lungs. The searing oven-blast heat within the four corners of my bedroom. I don’t know how long it’s been going off, but it’s too late for me now. ![]() The house alarm is screaming out, not the early-warning beep but the piercing you’re-totally-screwed-if-you-don’t-move-now squeal. This time, it’s too bright, there’s too much smoke. THIS TIME I know it, I know it with a certainty that chokes my throat with panic, that grips and twists my heart until it’s ripped from its mooring. ![]()

The story that Jeanette Keith uncovered is a profound-and never more relevant-account of how a catastrophe inspired reactions both heroic and cowardly. The city of Memphis, Tennessee, was particularly hard hit: Of the approximately twenty thousand who didn't flee the city, seventeen thousand contracted the fever, and more than five thousand died-the equivalent of a million New Yorkers dying in an epidemic today.įever Season chronicles the drama in Memphis from the outbreak in August until the disease ran its course in late October. Moving up the Mississippi River in the late summer, in the span of just a few months the fever killed more than eighteen thousand people. ![]() While the American South had grown to expect a yellow fever breakout almost annually, the 1878 epidemic was without question the worst ever. ![]() |
