Huang, Jiande. Xi fang zhe xue dong jian shi : 1840-1949. [ID D17438].
"John Dewey's influence has two sides : The negative and the positive. The negative influence is traced in his preference for social reform to Marxism, while the positive derives from his advocacy of pragmatism, new educational philosophy, and democracy. These ideas oppose dogmatism, and stress reflective thinking, drawing on spirits of practicality and innovation formed during America's pioneering years. Dewey conveyed to Chinese listeners American style characterized by pioneer spirit and determination to succeed, which are concurrent with the spirit of 'science' and 'democracy' that many Chinese intellectuals were promoting at this time."
