Rating:  - How we think can be "influenced" this book suggests

He suggests that knowledge is relative to its interaction with the world.

Rating: - Reviewing: How We Think
As a professional educator, it's always great to review and reread works by the great theorists such as Dewey. Great information for business and educators alike!

What have I gained from this book? Everytime I do something, I ... Read More
Rating: - Basic ideas to develop your thinking skills
It is very good to see this book appearing in new editions. This is a classic book about thinking. Dewey studies thought from the psychological and philosophical points of view and derives practical ideas for education.Reading this book, I was surprised to see the applicability of its contents to my main activity field, which is business management. Today's main effort in business research is toward innovation and learning. Thus, thinking skill is probably the most important resource ... Read More
