Miguel de Unamuno and John Dewey: the system of education and personal liberty

Summary/Abstract: This study offers an interpretation of Miguel de Unamuno’s and John Dewey’s views on education. The article consists of three parts. After the short introduction which describes Unamuno’s and Dewey’s general views on education and their impact on the development of the system of education in different countries, in the first part of the article I describe Unamuno’s approach to education in general and the role of pedagogy in particular; in the second part the education is interpreted based on Dewey’s point of view; and the third part represents the analysis of similarities in the understanding of the role of education and its place in the formation of personal liberty. This is the first attempt to connect Unamuno’s and Dewey’s views on this topic.
