Despite these criticisms, Dewey still loom as one of the major figures of American education, philosophy and politics, a towering presence whose work deserves to be read closely for its intensive examination of many of the pressing social issues that continue to be of such vital concern today. His articulation of and commitment to participatory democracy, in our schools and elsewhere, represents a major contribution. Indeed, although his optimism about progress, freedom, community, science, and so forth may
seem at times to have been out of proportion to the realities of hegemonic culture, it serves to remind us of many of the paths to progressive social change. We may argue with some of the answers that he provided, but John Dewey exemplified attempts to get at the very root of the social world, to not only understand it but also to change it.
