Biography
Philip B. Moore is an assistant professor of education at Gratz College where he teaches courses in creativity, leadership, and the history of education. His most recent written work includes essays on artist Ray Johnson, actor Sal Mineo, and punk musician Darby Crash for the Gay & Lesbian Review.
Philip B. Moore brings John Dewey to life. Packed with insights about Dewey’s thinking on education, art, and democracy, and how it evolved during a pivotal time in American history, this book offers us a useful intellectual history. Moore has an eye for detail and anecdote, and this book works on so many levels: Dewey’s ideas, his personal relationships, and the places and colleges where Dewey studied, taught, and lived.”
