The concept of time in Dewey's educational philosophy: Taking “the present” as the core point of time

Wenxian Liu

Abstract

John Dewey's philosophy of education, which takes the present as the starting point and focuses on the actual experiences of educational activities, releases education from the chains of its inherent thinking and reestablishes the meaning and value of education in the world of everyday life. In this sense, the time, which coincides with Dewey's philosophy of experiential education, is experiential time which starts from the present and links the past and the future, and is no longer the one-divisional, everlasting time as traditionally defined.
