Crick lays out the habits needed for a more democratic culture and the means to obtain it via teaching logic, rhetoric, and aesthetics in a certain way. Dewey for a New Age of Fascism will be of interest to teachers and scholars in American philosophy, communication studies, pedagogy, and political theory. -Gregory Fernando Pappas, author of John Dewey's Ethics: Democracy as Experience As the prospects of contemporary democracy are uncertain, readers may appreciate Nathan Crick's nuanced discussion of Dewey's critique of individualism, which weakened community bonds and constricted political engagement. Further, as our environment faces an existential threat, readers may glean insights from Dewey's views of naturalism, which affirmed connections between humans and the planet. In many ways, this is a timely book. -Robert Asen, author of Democracy, Deliberation, and Education A wide audience should read this excellent volume, especially teacher educators, administrators, and teachers.
