The Intellectual Legacy of John Dewey — Inquiry, Habit, and Democratic Development

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.This episode explores The Intellectual Legacy of John Dewey (J. E. Tiles) as a systems-level analysis of how inquiry and habit formation shape human agency — and how democratic institutions function as instruments for collective development.By focusing on incentive architecture and institutional reinforcement rather than personal intention, the episode shows why patterns persist — and how language, education, and governance form a single interdependent system.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/JQ6ZqA6JohY❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/intellectual-of-151531548?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
