John Dewey (1859-1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform. Dewey is regarded as one of the founders of pragmatism, a philosophy that emphasizes the pactical consequences of beliefs and the importance of experience in shaping knowledge. His work in philosophy, psychology, and education has had a lasting impact on various fields, promoting a hands-on, experiential approach to learning and problem-solving.
