Index



“Grounded on a careful reading of Dewey’s social thought and philosophy of education, this book shows the relevance of Dewey’s ideas on the true ‘national emergency’ today in the USA: we are sliding into fascism and away from democratic communication. Crick lays out the habits needed for a more democratic culture and the means to obtain it via teaching logic, rhetoric, and aesthetics in a certain way. Dewey for a New Age of Fascism will be of interest to teachers and scholars in American philosophy, communication studies, pedagogy, and political theory.”

—Gregory Fernando Pappas, author of John Dewey’s Ethics: Democracy as Experience
