Abstract
Dewey belongs to the small company of philosophers who granted education a major role in their philosophical argumentation. For Dewey (1916/MW pp. 9, 338), education was not merely an institution to transmit skills, ideas, and attitudes, but also a laboratory “in which philosophic distinctions become concrete and are tested”. Moreover, he argued that education offers a way for individuals to find their true calling in social service (1897/EW pp. 5, 95).
