John Dewey - Democracy Is More Than That

To john dewey, a true democracy should allow every citizen within it to realize their full potential. The idea that you're just born into a society and you're automatically enrolled in some subscription to that society is wrong according to the political philosopher. John dewey sees government as part of what an organism produces - like bees produce a hive. He also believes cultural influence has much more of an effect on political matters than natural processes do.
