How We Think

John Dewey

Beschreibung

In "How We Think," John Dewey presents a profound exploration of the process of reflective thinking, which he delineates as a crucial component of effective learning and problem-solving. Dewey's literary style is characterized by clarity and accessibility, making complex philosophical concepts approachable for a broad audience. The text situates itself within the pragmatist tradition, challenging static notions of knowledge and emphasizing the dynamic interplay between thought and experience in an increasingly complex world. Through detailed analysis and practical examples, Dewey articulates methods for improving educational practices and enhancing critical and creative thinking skills. John Dewey (1859-1952) was a pivotal figure in American philosophy and education, known for his advocacy of experiential learning and democracy in education. His extensive career as a philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer provided him with insights into the deficiencies of traditional pedagogical methods, which inform the core arguments of this work. Dewey's dedication to fostering a more interactive and engaged learning environment illuminated the necessity for a paradigm shift in both educational practices and the cultivation of intellectual habits. "How We Think" is an essential read for educators, students, and anyone interested in the cognitive processes underlying effective learning. Dewey's insightful analysis not only enhances one's understanding of thinking as a skill but also serves as a manifesto for a more thoughtful and engaged society. This book is an invaluable resource for developing the reflective skills needed in both personal and professional contexts.

Flavian Dynasty - The Era of...

Kelly Mass

The Flavian dynasty, which ruled the Roman Empire from AD 69 to 96, is remembered as a period of remarkable transformation, spanning the reigns of Emperor Vespasian and his two sons, Titus and Domitian. This dynasty emerged during a time of political instability, marked by the tumultuous civil war of 69, often referred to as the Year of the Four Emperors. The Roman Empire was in turmoil after the deaths of emperors Galba and Otho, and the brief rule of Vitellius, who assumed the throne in mid-69. However, Vitellius' reign was soon contested by legions in the Eastern provinces, who declared Vespasian their emperor. This marked the beginning of the Flavian rise to power. The Second Battle of Bedriacum was a pivotal moment, securing the Flavian cause and leading to their eventual triumph. On December 20, 69, Vespasian entered Rome and, the following day, was officially declared Emperor by the Senate, establishing the Flavian dynasty.
Despite its relatively brief reign, the Flavian dynasty witnessed several notable events that shaped Roman history. One of the most significant challenges of Titus' rule was the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79, which buried the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and others under layers of ash and lava. This catastrophic event, along with the subsequent fires and pestilence that ravaged Rome in 80, deeply affected the empire. On the military front, Titus' most enduring legacy was the brutal siege of Jerusalem in 70, following the Jewish revolt that began in 66. The city was destroyed, and its temple, a symbol of Jewish religious and cultural identity, was looted and razed. The military campaigns of the Flavians also extended beyond the Mediterranean; Gnaeus Julius Agricola, during his command in Britain (77–83), achieved remarkable victories that expanded Roman influence in the British Isles.

Crosses of Iron - The Tragic...

Nick Pappas, Richard Melzer

In October 1913, 261 miners and two rescuers died when a massive explosion ripped through a mine operated by Phelps, Dodge & Company in Dawson, New Mexico. Ten years later, a second blast claimed the lives of another 120 miners. Today, Dawson is a deserted ghost town. All that remains is a sea of white iron crosses memorializing the nearly four hundred miners killed in the two explosions—a death toll unmatched by mine disasters in any other town in America. 
 
 
 
Now, to mark the centennial of the second disaster, veteran journalist Nick Pappas tells the tragic story of what was once New Mexico's largest and most modern company town and of how the strong, determined residents of the community coped with two heartbreaking catastrophes.
