Inquiry and Education offers a lucid and challenging interpretation of John Dewey, his critics, and his supporters. Thematically organized, the book focuses on four of Dewey's preeminent concerns--inquiry, growth, community, and democracy--and their close association with formal education. This book fills a void in the literature on Dewey by providing the first critical exploration of the philosopher's talk of education and how this fits into his overall philosophy. James Scott Johnston develops Dewey's thinking and suggests that Dewey's theory of inquiry is best described as self-correcting and context-bound.

reviewed Inquiry and Education: John Dewey and the Quest for Democracy on August 07, 2014 Inquiry and Education: John Dewey and the Quest for Democracy
Brent Davis describes the genealogy of teaching through history in the context of epistemological discourses. The structure of the book follows the branching of a tree as various concepts are described as bifurcations of more basic conceptions of knowledge. Complexity thinking, post-structuralism, mysticism, postivism, critical theory, ecological discourses,and empiricism are among the concepts that are fleshed out and their impact on current understandings of teaching are addressed. This book would be useful to any teacher who wants to recognize their philosophical position within the ongoing evolution of teaching.
