EXPERIENCE AND THE METHOD OF THE INTELLIGENCE IN JOHN DEWEY’S THOUGHT
Abstract
In this essay I will try to analyze the John Dewey’s concept of experience, examining, in particular, the first chapter of «Experience and nature»’s second edition. The concept of experience links to the relation with nature and only science with the method of intelligence can organically relate experience, nature and the construction of democracy. Due to this education it is fundamental to guide the individual to build democracy through science.
