John Dewey and the Idea of Experimentalism.

Widely known as a philosopher of American democracy, John Dewey always possessed a strong interest in schooling. Philosophers historically have made their marks by writing their views on logic, ethics, religion, truth, aesthetics and even reality, but very few have exercised their analytical acumen on the topic of schooling. Dewey, however, could not escape the connection that schooling had to his philosophical views, especially in relation to the concept of democracy; he even directed his own laboratory school at the University of Chicago, a rare activity for a philosopher indeed! Dewey, it should be said, also had substantive things to say about the social currents of his time, including issues related to the suffragette movement, labor unions, birth control, world peace, social class tensions, and societal transformations in Mexico, China, and Russia (Dworkin, 1954). A complete collection of Dewey's works is contained in a thirty-seven-volume work edited by Jo Ann Boydston (1979).

In 1902, based on his work in his laboratory school, Dewey put forth what he believed to be the three crucial factors in the learning process: (1) the nature of the learner, (2) the values and aims of the society, and (3) the wider world of knowledge represented in the subject matter. This was his way of saying that all good teaching must be attuned to (1) the character of learners (their interests, problems, developmental nature), (2) the highest values of the society (democratic principles of cooperation, tolerance, critical mindedness, and political awareness), and (3) the reflective representation of the subject matter (the knowledge in the various disciplines that helps the teacher present material that resonates with both learner and society) (Dewey, 1902). These factors are not discrete, but work together as interrelated and complementary elements. Thus, the learner had to be seen in the context of the society, forcing a consideration of the needs and interests not just of the learner but also of the learner living in a democracy. Similarly, the choice of subject matter in the curriculum had to be made based on what was most worth knowing for a learner living in a democracy.

Dewey's ideas about the school curriculum can be cautiously classified as ex-perimentalist-progressive (Tanner and Tanner, 1987). But how does experimentalism begin to represent a philosophy that identifies itself with democracy? And why the term "experimentalism," which seems to connote some strange association with specialized laboratory techniques? The answer to these questions starts with an understanding of what Dewey saw as the main basis of all education, which he described as that "reconstruction or reorganization of experience which adds to the meaning of experience and which increases ability to direct the course of subsequent experiences" (1916, pp. 89­90). To understand experimentalism, one must understand this idea. To simplify matters, the "reconstruction or reorganization of experience" is really just a way of saying that one must learn from one's experience in a fashion that avoids repeating mistakes and that contributes to one's ability to make more informed decisions in the future. The implication is that learning is a process of experiential growth, always in the state of becoming and, if properly managed, improving, but never achieving completeness or finality. Such a view of experience, however, does not emerge idiosyncratically. Some method of thinking or a process of intelligence has to be used to help regulate it.

To Dewey, this method of intelligence could be found in the scientific method. The scientific method applied to learning in school has several advantages from the standpoint of an experimentalist. First, it holds all truth up to ongoing inspection, a principle running counter to the conservative belief in the eternal value and truths of the Western canon. The tentative nature of truth puts extra emphasis on the process of inquiry and the use of evidence and reasoned argumentation in de-cision-making. Second, the scientific method is designed to be responsive to the improvement of existing conditions. It is a problem-resolution method that tests new ideas in the interests of producing improvements. This makes it an elegant method for democracy because it...

Who are the illuminati?

They are in every place...

The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically the name refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, anEnlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776 to oppose superstition, prejudice, religious influence over public life, abuses of state power, and to support women's education and gender equality. The Illuminati — along with other secret societies — were outlawed by the Bavarian ruler, Charles Theodore, with the encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church, and permanently disbanded in 1785.^[1] In the several years following, the group was vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed they had regrouped and were responsible for the French Revolution.

In subsequent use, "Illuminati" refers to various organizations claiming or purported to have unsubstantiated links to the original Bavarian Illuminati or similar secret societies, and often alleged to conspire to control world affairs by masterminding events and planting agents in government and corporations to establish a New World Order and gain further political power and influence. Central to some of the most widely known and elaborate conspiracy theories, the Illuminati have been depicted as lurking in the shadows and pulling the strings and levers of power in dozens of novels, movies, television shows, comics, video games and music videos.

MASONS ILLUMINATI PREPARING FUTURE WORLD GOVERNMENT OF THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET

Masons , Illuminati are very rich and powerful people who control the economy and world politics through the World Bank, the government of the United States , the UN and the European Union. Their goal is clear: to rule the world .
The dome of the Illuminati - Masons say they are all Jews, but not to be confused with the true Jews , but they are THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN , are devil worshipers , children of your father the devil, and anti-Christian to the core, God 's own Son , Jesus the Messiah , clearly unmasked in his time :
" They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father . Jesus said unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham . But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth which I have heard of two : this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father . They said to him , We be not born of fornication: we have one Father , even God . Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye , ye would love me , for from God I came forth and am come , for I am not come of myself, but he sent me . Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye can not hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do . He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native , he is a liar and the father of lies . And because I tell you the truth , ye believe me not . " ( Jn.8 :39 -45 ) .

" I know thy works , and tribulation , and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan ... Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews and are not, but lie . Behold, I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you " ( Rev.2 : 9, 3:9 ) .

As we can see in these words of Jesus Christ , the children of the devil are the synagogue of Satan , those who say they are Jews, but hate the Messiah Jesus and refuse to believe in him. These false Jews or synagogue of Satan are those who today control the banks , politics, the UN and the major nations of the world. All of them are Masons , Illuminati , and the purpose of them is to implement their " New World Order" under the leadership of the false messiah , the beast, and its religious ally, the false prophet, foretold in the book of Revelation.
The following information about the illuminati has been taken from some websites , I recommend that you read it carefully :

The May 1, 1776 a former Jesuit priest formed his occult group, designated as Masters of iIlluminati .
Adam Weishaupt founded his new group on the basis of the Jesuit Order , with which he was familiar .
The Masters of the Illuminati were a real secret society, completely closed to the outside world . They had a specific plan to eliminate all religions and civil institutions and governments , replacing them with a new global government, a system that Weishaupt called The New World Order .
What were the specific plans for this New World Order ? Nesta Webster , writing in his book , "World Revolution" ( World Revolution ) , listed the following six (6 ) goals :
1. Abolition of the Monarchy and all organized government
Two . Abolition of Private Property
Three . Abolition of Inheritance
April . Abolition of Patriotism
May . Abolition of the family ( ie, marriage and all morality , and the institution of communal education of children ) [ My note : "communal education of children " refers to public education administered by the State] .
6.Abolición of all religion (page 22).
To achieve this plan , Weishaupt understood that he needed supernatural power , if it would successfully destroy Western Civilization , which was religiously Christian . So Weishaupt established his Masters of iIlluminati with an occult base! ["The New World Order" ( New World Order ) , by A. Ralph Epperson , p . 108-112 ] .
The Bavarian Illuminati quickly spread throughout Austria and elsewhere in Europe , affiliating personalities like Herder , Goethe, Cagliostro, the Comte de Saint- Germain ...
Encouraged by success , Adam Weishaupt became determined to join the Masons , and ordered the infiltration and domination of it.
In 1782, at a meeting of continental Freemasonry, The Illuminati unsuccessfully attempted the feat , by the opposition of the Grand Lodge of England and the misgivings of Los iIluminados Theosophists and the Grand Orient of France.
The June 22, 1784 , the Elector of Bavaria sensed the danger posed to the Illuminati and the Catholic Church monarchies, due to its revolutionary , egalitarian and libertarian ideology , and passed an edict against them and Freemasonry. In 1785 , the edict was confirmed Weishaupt and went into exile in Regensburg, to direct order from abroad and died on 18 November 1830.
The remains of the Order of The Illuminati had two destinations : Europe and the United States. Thus, the involvement of the remains of the Order in Europe in the French Revolution is beyond doubt . The Comte de Mirabeau introduced the Order in France and revolutionary Saint -Just, Camille Desmoulins , Danton , Marat and Herbert were members of the Illuminati . The famous Count Cagliostro , who participated in the frames of the French revolutionary process created the Egyptian Freemasonry and was killed in the dungeons of the Inquisition , also received initiation into the lodges of Weishaupt .
Another very different question is an extension of The Illuminati in American lands. If possible ensure that the Illuminati disappeared from Europe in the early decades of the nineteenth century , and so absolutely, it is inaccurate to say the same in the case of the United States. There are too many tests to claim otherwise : the seal of the U.S. dollar , U.S. orders heirs of the Illuminati and a series of letters that are revealing , especially nineteenth-century letters now declared.
Weishaupt created a symbol for their organization, the All-Seeing Eye on top of a pyramid, inside a circle .
