- Title
John Dewey and India: Expanding the John Dewey-Bhimrao Ambedkar Story.
- Authors
Stroud, Scott R.
- Abstract
This article explores the connection between John Dewey, a prominent American philosopher, and Bhimrao Ambedkar, an Indian thinker and leader. While Dewey's influence on Chinese reformers like Hu Shih is well-known, his connection to India is less explored. Ambedkar, who studied under Dewey at Columbia University, went on to become a profound thinker and leader in India, incorporating Dewey's ideas into his own philosophy. The article also discusses Dewey's limited knowledge of Indian philosophy and the concept of caste, highlighting the potential influence of India on Dewey's work.
