More From Politics and Vision

I am 5/6 of the way through Politics and Vision. Here is a quote on John Dewey and Democracy:

Dewey wrote: "If the living experiencing being is an intimate participant is the activities of the world to which it belongs, then knowledge is a mode of participation, valuable in the degree to which it is effective. It cannot be the idle view of an unconcerned spectator."

Democracy, "is more than a form of government; it is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated expereiences."
