Garrison, Öhman, and Östman offer a remarkable book on John Dewey’s
transactionalism. Not only does this work highlight Dewey’s last
book, On Knowing and the Known, with Arthur Bentley, it
demonstrates the functional utility of philosophy applied to
schooling. This outstanding addition to Dewey scholarship is a
must-read book for anyone interested in moving ‘schooling’ away
from mere training and toward engagement, enactment, and
growth.
*Deron Boyles, Distinguished University Professor, Georgia State
University and Past-President, John Dewey Society, USA*
Deweyan Transactionalism in Education is an amazing example of what
the editors call “applied philosophy”. Mobilizing Dewey’s notion of
transaction and applying it to multiple educational contexts, the
authors design an epistemological framework which grounds a
transactional understanding of educational processes and practices,
according to a sustainable perspective.
