This book is aimed at students of philosophy and other areas of education who are interested in learning about John Dewey's thought. John Dewey is considered one of the best-known philosophers in America and Europe for his position on pragmatism, epistemology, instrumentalism and as a theorist of education. His thought transcends generations and is present in Brazil and in several countries. In his philosophical discourse, he brings a concept of experience based on the continuity of life and the continuous process of learning. His experience allows for the creation of a new metaphysics that aims to unite experience, nature and the human being, so that the action developed in this process is valued. Dewey thus works with an empirical metaphysics. His thinking goes from epistemology to education, where it is linked to the formation of the human being. In view of this, it is possible to see in Dewey a strong focus on the formation of the human being's conscience in all areas. In this book, the author offers readers a theoretical basis and introduction to Dewey's thinking.
