约翰·杜威（John Dewey），20世纪最重要的哲学家、教育学家之一，实用主义哲学的创始人之一。他的思想涵盖逻辑学、认识论、心理学、教育学、社会哲学、美术和宗教。他的学术著作甚丰，仅目录就达125页，主要代表作有《民主与教育》《哲学的改造》《人类本性及行为》《经验与自然》《确定性的追求》《艺术即经验》《逻辑：探求的理论》《公众及其问题》《人的问题》等等。

1919年5月至1921年7月，杜威到中国讲学，在北京、上海、山东、山西、江苏、浙江等13个省市演讲数十次，对中国现代思想、文化，尤其是教育产生了重大的影响。胡适曾说“自从中国与西洋文化接触以来，没有一个外国学者在中国思想界的影响有杜威这样大。”
