ABSTRACT
Now the central problem of Dewey's philosophy is the central problem of every student of teaching. It has to do with the relation between theory and practice, between facts and values, between knowledge and intelligence. In a word, intelligence needs not only knowledge of facts but also principles of judgment. Now Dewey's clearest statement of the relation between facts and values, between theory and practice, between knowledge and intelligence is given when he draws the distinction between the sciences and philosophy. The argument of Democracy and Education goes, is Dewey's separation of science and philosophy, of knowledge and intelligence. The destructive effect of Dewey's subjective account of the process by which knowledge is used for the guidance of action has been, both for studies of society and for studies of education, enormous. Every teacher knows, as Dewey assures us, that knowledge must be used for the creating of intelligence.
