In Part 2, we delve into Deweys intriguing concept of IMPULSES, exploring how they represent the dynamic interplay between individuals and their environment. When environmental challenges clash with ingrained HABITS, it is these innate impulses that drive us to rethink and adjust both our behaviors and our surroundings. The age-old debate of Nature vs Nurture can be misleading, as it often oversimplifies the complexities of human personality. Our inherent behaviors are essentially a blend of habits shaped by cultural customs. Notably, much of education is less about learning in the traditional...

Join us as we explore the groundbreaking ideas of John Dewey, a pivotal early 20th Century American philosopher, psychologist, and educational theorist. In this first part of a four-part series on his influential work, Human Nature and Conduct, Dewey presents Social Psychology as both a physical science and a social science, akin to Biology and Chemistry. He introduces the concept of HABIT as a key term that encapsulates the dynamic interaction between individuals and their environments, shaping moral judgments. Dewey famously states, All habits are demands for certain kinds of activity; and ...

Deep down, most people think that happiness comes from having or doing something. Here, in Alan Watts’s groundbreaking third book (originally published in 1940), he offers a more challenging thesis: authentic happiness comes from embracing life as a whole in all its contradictions and paradoxes, an attitude that Watts calls the “way of acceptance.” Drawing on Eastern philosophy, Western mysticism, and analytic psychology, Watts demonstrates that happiness comes from accepting both the outer world around us and the inner world inside us,
