Ideas and Their Objects: A Reply to Garrison.
Prawat, Richard S.
Educational Researcher, v25 n6 p23-24 Aug-Sep 1996
Contends that Garrison (1996) overlooks evidence that points to the transactional nature of Dewey's theory on learning and uses Dewey's reconstruction of William James's theory of emotion to support the author's claim that Dewey emphasized activity. Following a brief discussion on intellectualism--that ideas represent the only mode of knowing--the educational implications from philosophical theorizing are discussed. (GR)
