Abstract

To draw a relation between philosophy and education is not an easy task. However, such task is doable when this relation is approached through a philosopher or, even better, a philosopher from the field of education. Such approach is considered more specific and thus, deeper because it is possible to gauge the relation by looking for its relevance. Bearing this idea in mind, I would like to present John Dewey’s view of the relation between philosophy and education. Such relation is discussed mostly in his opus ‘Democracy and Education’, which particularly highlights civic education.
