The three chief goals of Bacon were to


uncover truth, to serve his country, and to
serve his church. Bacon looked further to
these by attempting to get a prestigious
post. He also applied for a post in the
court through his uncle; Lord Burghley in
1580 which he believed would allow him to
pursue a life of learning but his
application was rejected. Following two
years, he worked at Gray’s Inn, only to be
admitted as an outer barrister in 1582. He
took his seat in the parliament for
Melcombe in Dorset in 1584 and afterwards
for Taunton in 1586. This was the time when
Bacon started writing on the condition of
church parties and also on the topic of
philosophical reform in the lost
tract, Temporis Partus Maximus.

John Dewey was a famous American philosopher, psychologist
and educational reformer. He was also the founder of
functional psychology and one of the earliest developers of
philosophy of pragmatism. His ideas made significant impact
in social and educational reforms. Apart from writing
primarily in publication works, he also wrote about many
topics including experience, nature, art, logic, inquiry,
democracy, and ethics.

John Dewey was born on October 20, 1859 in


Burlington, Vermont. His father, Archibald Sprague
Dewey, left his grocery business during the Civil
War to become a quartermaster in the Vermont
Regiment. Afterwards, he opened a tobacco shop,
running it successfully to provide his family with
financial security and comfort.

His mother, Lucina Artemisia nee Rich, was almost


twenty
years younger than her husband. Daughter of a
wealthy farmer, she was a devout Calvinist,
possessing a stern sense of morality. She was
stricter with her children than her easy going
husband and made sure that they have college
education.
Among the forty books written by John Dewey,
‘Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the
Philosophy of Education’ is his first major work.
Published in 1916, it tries to synthesize and
expand the educational philosophies of two major
philosophers, Plato and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
'Human Nature and Conduct': An Introduction to
Social Psychology’ is another of his important
works. Published in 1922, it tries to establish
that understanding different types of habit is the
key to social psychology.
'Art and Experience', published in 1934 is another
of his major works. Dealing in aesthetics, the work
has been found to influence a number of disciplines
including the new media. Opposing the theories of
Kant, Dewey tries to establish that to understand
art one must start with daily events and scenes.
In 1899, Dewey was elected president of the
American Psychological Association.
He received honorary degree from several
universities including the University of Oslo
(1946), University of Pennsylvania (1946), Yale
University (1951) and University of Rome (1951).
In 1943, he received Copernicus citation.

“Education is not preparation for


life; education is life itself.”
