John Dewey (1859-1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer who attended the University of Vermont and Johns Hopkins University. He taught at several universities including the University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, and University of Chicago. Dewey published over 1,000 works and co-founded The New School. He was a proponent of progressive education and rejected authoritarian teaching methods. Dewey believed education should focus on making the most of the present rather than solely preparing for the future.
