John Dewey's philosophy follows much the same line. He began as a Hegalian and then adopted a view of man very much like that of Marx. His writing is so opaque that it is hard to dig this out, but he generally things of men as matter that may be shaped into any form one wishes. This is the bottom line in in instrumentalism. It is also the philosophy that is taight in the public schools. Unfortunately, ourpublic schools are absolutely unconscious of this fact, in part because they are run by some of the stupidest members of our national elite.

Hey don’t even get me started on Dewey. My wife is currently in school to become a teacher and some of her textbooks paint Dewey as some kind of saint. At least Texas,where I live, has the good sense to publish a Texas edition of textbooks in an attempt to mitigate some of the damage.
