John Dewey and the Philosophy and Practice of Hope

"Fishman and McCarthy each bring unique tools to their classroom inquiries, and the results are wonderfully readable and illuminating. Their work and humanity point the way for educators to act against civic decline and for civic renewal." --Ira Shor, professor of composition and rhetoric, City University of New York Graduate School "The study is a superb inquiry: a model for how philosophy should consider the 'problems of men' and how teaching and research should be conducted. Highly recommended."--Choice "Those who have enjoyed Fishman and McCarthy's earlier collaborations that stir fine philosophy, serious classroom practice, and careful empirical study into a savory stew will find their latest offering to their taste. I also recommend this most recent work to those who have not yet had the pleasure."--Teachers College Record “Reads like a conversation with someone who not only knows Dewey's thinking well but also is not afraid to experiment with these ideas.”--Education and Culture
