It might seem rather bizarre to claim that a return to the work of John Dewey can offer a greater appreciation of globalization and global democracy at the start of the twenty-first century. Dewey appears to be a creature of a wholly different epoch; born in 1859, the year Darwin published Origin of the Species and just short of eighteen months before the Battle of Fort Sumter, Dewey’s life w…
The curiosity and spirit of exploration in understanding the origins of the Earth and life is the foundation of modern science, and this has never changed from ancient Greek civilization, the Renaissance, to the Industrial Revolution.
