当杜威于1919年抵达中国的时候，在他的哲学立场和儒家传统之间进行公正平等对话的时机尚未成熟。彼时，杜威声名鹊起，而儒家传统却急剧衰落。杜威受到了当时领军学者的热烈欢迎，而同时"打倒孔家店"的口号也正流行。与过去不同，今天的中国已经是世界大国，儒家传统也再次复兴。杜威和孔子对话的时代已经到来。儒家的道德自我修养理论可以补充杜威的教育方案，而杜威的积极学习策略则可以填充儒家与科学和技术教育之间的鸿沟。杜威在中国的系列演讲中就曾经涉及中国的科学和技术教育问题。
In 1919, when Dewey arrived in China, the time was not ripe for a dialogue on equal terms between his ideas and those from Confucian tradition. Dewey's reputation was on the rise; Confucianism was in sharp decline. Dewey was welcomed with open arms by China's leading intellectuals, while a popular slogan of the day proclaimed " Down with Confucius!" Today, by contrast, China is a great world power, and the Confucian tradition is once again ascending. It is now time to place Dewey and Confucius in dialogue, and to investigate how each can contribute to educational revitalization. In this paper I argue that the Confucian ideal of moral self-cultivation can supplement Dewey's educational program, while Dewey's active learning strategies can fill a gap in Confucian learning in science and technology, fields that occupied Dewey in his lectures in China.
