Abstract

This paper develops John Dewey’s perspective of democracy as a way of life supported by
the development of one’s own point of view and of one’s capacity to choose, that is, on free, organized
intelligence. To this end, I show how Dewey’s concepts and proposals work together to highlight
individuality as a constitutive mark of a cooperative, critical, open, and plural community.
