Abstract

Following the Puritain concept of a calling, Dewey's concept of community envisaged a society in which men performing diverse and specialized functions were meaningfully related to each other and had a vital sense of their own roles in the social and productive processes. Dewey's hope was no less visionary than that of the Puritai ns: he could not establish the meaningfulness of the individual role in modern society and, hence, could not state the sense of community which education should foster.
