Deweys Analysis
Three major causes for educational disorder
1. Colleges & Universities are driven by the love of money
Ex. Donors, student fees, state legislatures Results in the demand of large numbers of students, which then results in the need for more teachers (most of which are probably under- qualified)
The Remedy
Education for its own sake, pursuit of knowledge. Not for the sake of a degree for a working gain. Dewey agrees with Hutchins on how higher institutions should become centers of creative thought. Dewey believes in unity of intellect and practice only from truths and higher truths.
Basically breaks up the Dewey and the Hutchins points of view. While Dewey is the Pragmatist or the practice. Hutchins is the Idealist, or the intellect. Hutchins holds that a divorce is needed between this practice and the intellect. Dewey believes in the intellect but it is just another truth that is relying on another truth. Ills-comes from surrender of educational institutions to the social pressure. Which leads to the love of money instead of the love of truths. Social pressure Surrender causes the mass to conform and produce people for the work force. Lack of love for truth, more for love of money Donations would halt if the love for truth won this debate.
