How We Think

Published in 1910, 'How We Think' by John Dewey explores the relationship between scientific thinking and education. Dewey argues that the natural curiosity and imaginative qualities of childhood align closely with the scientific mindset. He emphasizes the importance of fostering this kinship in educational practices to enhance individual happiness and reduce social waste. The book is notable for its influence on educational philosophy and its advocacy for a more inquiry-based approach to learning.
