I doubt it, at which on this particular instance, I agree with objectivists. The conclusion is (must be) wrong. But could that be the fault of induction because it led us to a wrong conclusion here?Falafulu Fisinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-24629781247914825602009-11-13T10:33:25.678+13:002009-11-13T10:33:25.678+13:00Dewey?

Hosptials need doctors and nurses. Schools need teachers. Corporations need acountants, technicians... etc. <br /><br />These two perspectives are wheeled out for different audiences. If a school is recruiting students, then the first purpose is used. If the school is looking for spnsorship for a computer-lab, it is more likely to be in the form of the second.<br /><br />Montessori and Dewey were socialists and believed in democracy. Their methodologies were focused towards forming better citizens.Monsieurnoreply@blogger.com
