Abstract

This paper aims to broaden the understanding and scope of John Dewey’s philosophical and educational theses, placing them within the rhetorical discursive tradition derived from Sophistry. To do this, a quantitative examination of the occurrences of the expression “history of philosophy” is made first, followed by a qualitative analysis of the theme “history of philosophy” in the works published in The Collected Works of John Dewey: 1882-1953 (Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, USA). This examination reveals two features that allow Dewey to be associated with the rhetorical tradition: the educational value attributed to the study of history and a way of arguing based on the genealogy of facts and concepts. Based on Dewey’s theses on aesthetics and his conceptualization of experience, the paper concludes with the proposal of a creative history of philosophy and education.
