The Public and Its Problems
Book • 1927
In 'The Public and Its Problems', John Dewey critiques traditional notions of the state and democracy, arguing that a public forms in response to problems and that democracy should be localized to foster genuine community engagement.
Dewey also discusses the 'eclipse of the public' due to industrialization and centralization, which complicates the identification of public interests.
