Reflective Thought defined by John Dewey

[skosurf]

He stifled freedom as a part of his colonization of a non-deviating unquestioning human workforce. dead men walking!!!! moving meat!!!!! open your eyes have they taken those too!!!! oh you poor brainwashed sots . HA!! reflective thought your blankly stareing in a mirror of empty identity with the ideals of this man a flesh blood tool of industry!

If you want to discuss the points raised in the video, do so, but please blather stupidity elsewhere.

do you people even realize who JOHN DEWEY is? the conservative buckler of braces??? the wretch behind the degeneratory mold of capitolism.  with philospohys so dry they leave your mind a parched wasteland. he's the very one who kidnapped and raped every americans childhood (includeing mine) into feeble submission, into passivity. We had our glinting eyes upturned to false hope,bold face lies.

Hey, nice vlog! I was searching for the book how u think but could not find it on guttenberg. Do you know any other place on the net where they have it.

really interesting stuff. i'm interested in discourse theory and considering how it relates to dewey's idea of reflective thinking. what i keep wondering is, where does reflective thought come from and how can one judge whether or not it's taking place? i wonder if you might agree that reflection is perhaps simply an act of thinking about an object from the juxtaposition of two (or more) discourses. any thoughts?

Thanks for another person who loves Dewey.  Bravo!

great video. i hardly hear anyone talk about dewey and i think he was probably the greatest thinker of the 20th century. russell and chomsky are right up there with him.

I don't like the idea of 'required reading', but he should be at the very least highly recommended reading for HS students.

thanks,
