《民主主義和教育》
約翰·杜威 1916年
上榜理由：讓世界相信，教育和真理無關。
在《民主主義和教育》中，杜威蔑視學校只注重學生傳統(tǒng)人格的培養(yǎng)，教他們生硬的知識，而不是鼓勵老師培養(yǎng)學生思考“能力”。他的想法對美國教育，特別是公立學校的教育方向產(chǎn)生了巨大影響。這本書可以被看作“反傳統(tǒng)教育宣言”。但其產(chǎn)生的結果如何？接受低等教育的一代年輕人缺乏對真理和知識的扎實基本功。杜威曾是哲學實用學校的三大奠基人之一，在那所學校里，“真理”是可以被制造和改變的?，F(xiàn)在，新西蘭學校的課程就非常能取悅杜威，因為它的設立在很大程度上參考了他的理論。
Democracy and Education
John Dewey, 1916
On the list because: it convinced the world that education is not about facts
In Democracy and Education, Dewey disparages schooling that focuses on traditional character development and endowing children with hard knowledge, and encourages the teaching of thinking “skills” instead. His views have had great influence on the direction of American education–particularly in public schools. This book could be considered to be the anti-classical education manifesto. And the consequence? A generation of youths with an inferior education which lacks a founding in solid facts and knowledge. Dewey was one of the three founders of the philosophical school of Pragmatism - a school of thought which proposes that “truth” is made and can change. The current curriculum in New Zealand is one which would please Dewey immensely as it is largely founded on his principles.
