Abstract
In 1902 influential American philosopher John Dewey wrote a short essay on anthropolo‐gists'view of the savage mind, arguing that it had had been unfairly dismissed as inchoate and incapable, when in fact the savage had much to teach scholars about the “present mind.” The ideas presented in Dewey's essay were not only theoretical; they also served as the basis for his entire curriculum his famous laboratory school at the University of Chicago. Thus, the author argues that Dewey's pedagogical thought informed his anthropological thought, and vice versa. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
