More from John Dewey
If the technological age can provide mankind with a firm and general basis of material security, it will be absorbed in a humane age.
The problem of securing diffused and seminal intelligence can be solved only in the degree in which local communal life becomes a reality.
Competition will continue, but it will be less rivalry for acquisition of material goods, and more an emulation of local groups to enrich direct experience with appreciatively enjoyed intellectual and artistic wealth.
That and that only gives reality to public opinion.
