ARTICLE ANNOTATION

quote
As a twentieth (20th) century pragmatist, Dewey was concerned about the dichotomy between theory and existential experience, and this led him to formulate his own concept of democracy as a breakaway from the traditional notions of democracy before his time. Democracy for Dewey is a social ideal, a system of values whose task is the creation of a freer and more humane experience in which all share and partici pate. Thus, this paper interrogates Dewey's democracy to show if really it is a workable idea that can help solve our existential problems: or if it is just a utopian concept that is good just for the paper. This is important because of the growing gap between the conceptualization and application of democratic principles in some African countries like Nigeria, where most of the features of democracy are absent.
