Globalization is a contemporary phenomenon that has contributed to accelerated circulation of goods, information, and people around the globe. Our focus in this special issue, however, is to explore some important tensions and relationships among Dewey’s ideas on democracy, education, and human flourishing in an era of globalization. To be sure, a significant amount of books and articles have been published in the past several decades that address Dewey’s views on education in general and on his conception of democratic education in particular. Thus, our goal in this special issue on John Dewey and education is to reflect on the legacy of Democracy and Education and, more generally, to consider the influence of Dewey’s ideas on education in the twenty-first century. The centennial anniversary of Dewey’s influential book presents philosophers and educators an opportunity to reexamine and evaluate its impact on various aspects of education in democratic societies. This year marks the hundred-year anniversary of John Dewey’s seminal work Democracy and Education.
