John Dewey in China: To Teach and to Learn

Abstract

Part of the SUNY series in Chinese philosophy and culture, this book is a combination of biography and philosophy. Wang delineates Dewey’s two-year teaching in China (May 1, 1919 – July 11, 1921), how Dewey was interpreted there, and what influence he has had. In addition, Wang discusses what Dewey learned from his stay in China and how his experience there influenced his philosophy.
