Abstract: Examines John Dewey's critique of idealism in his Quest for Certainty (1929) and other works, and argues that his case was overstated and pedagogically misleading. Proposes that Dewey's is an unnecessarily restrictive view, and one that has helped to cut out an epistemological orientation that had significant heuristic value for education.
