Lei Wang Bücher

Lei Wang untersucht John Deweys pädagogische Einflüsse im historischen Kontext Chinas und vergleicht seine Beobachtungen und seinen demokratischen Grundansatz mit den Konzepten und der praktischen Umsetzung seiner chinesischen Schüler. Sie verdeutlicht, dass die Verbreitung der pragmatischen Philosophie in China von Reduktionismus, Missverständnis, Einfärbung von konfuzianischer Lehre und Nationalismus begleitet wurden und dass Deweys Reformvorschläge eine demokratische Perspektive für Lösungen aktueller Herausforderungen in der chinesischen Gesellschaft bieten können. Zum 100-jährigen Jubiläum von Deweys Forschungsreise in China hebt die Autorin die aktuelle Bedeutung hervor. Die Ergebnisse ihrer Studie können Irrtümer, die bis heute fortwirken, aufklären und richtigstellen.
