## About this book

In Dewey for a New Age of Fascism, volume 1, Nathan Crick examines the philosophical connections between American educational reform and the rise of authoritarianism. Drawing on the social thought of John Dewey, Crick argues that democratic stability depends on specific habits of thought rather than just political structures. The text explores how rugged individualism and ideological nationalism create the conditions for fascist movements. By analyzing Dewey's political writings, the author identifies communication as a vital tool for cultivating the sympathy and intelligence necessary for a healthy democratic culture.

This work in philosophy and political science offers a pragmatic curriculum centered on logic, aesthetics, and rhetoric. Crick proposes an experimental model of education designed to strengthen democratic social life through the humanities. The book serves as a resource for scholars in communication studies, pedagogy, and political theory. It provides a framework for teaching essential arts to counter modern political challenges within the fields of education and rhetoric.
