Jerome A. Popp examines the role of Deweybased pragmatism in the past, present, and future of philosophy of education. He insists that even though Marxian utopian thought subjugated Deweys ideas during the 1970s, Deweys epistemological arguments are directly relevant to contemporary philosophy. He contends that not only are Deweys arguments related to how we think about philosophy of education; they actually improve the thinking reflected in the literature. Deweys arguments, he demonstrates, provide the basis for both a rejuvenated account of conceptual analysis and a criticism of the utopian relativism currently dominating the literature.Popp notes that empiricism, manifested in the philosophy of education as analytic philosophy, holds that scientific findings, especially from psychology, have no place in philosophy. But contemporary writers in the philosophy of science contend that to justify the methods of science we must consider what is known about intelligence and cognitive processes. These arguments are relevant to the ways in which we justify claims about proper education.Naturalizing epistemology (using the results of science in philosophic theories) leads to an enhanced account of Deweys instrumental approach to normative inquiry and strengthens attempts to justify educational practices. Deweys critique of utopian approaches to social theory is bolstered by contemporary arguments in epistemology and the philosophy of science. These arguments reject the attempt by some in philosophy of education to solve value questions through an appeal to utopian thinking. Popp agrees with Deweys view that the proper goals of education cannot be stated in these terms.
