Fourth Republic

A new constitutional democracy was established in Nigeria on 29 May 1999. This Fourth Republic was founded upon the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) which unshackled the judiciary from the bondage of military decrees. This also brought excitement to the citizenry which finds expression in the belief that the judiciary, their last bastion of succour, is now poised to intervene in the inevitable tussle between might and the exercise of new democratic tenets. These tenets encompass the ideals of economic justice, political justice and social justice. 1 1 C. C. Nweze, ‘Judicial Sustainability of Constitutional Democracy in Nigeria: A Response to the Phonographic Theory of the Judicial Function’, in E. S. Nwauche and F. I. Asogwah (eds), Essays in Honour of Professor C. O. Okunkwo, (SAN) Jite Books (2000), p. 225. Against the backdrop of this reality, the article will examine the extent to which the judiciary in Nigeria has performed its constitutional role as an independent arm of government towards ensuring the observance of democratic values in a free, open, humane and civilised society.

Even though the philosophy of common sense is not justifi able as such, the assump- tion upon which it rests, namely that there are things which we are not in position to doubt is correct. The reason why Thomas Reid was unable to bring this assumption out in a justifi able manner is that his views, both on knowledge and nature, are to be considered dogmatic. American pragmatists such as Charles Sanders Peirce and John Dewey on the other hand, may be seen as offering us a ‘critical’ and post-Darwinian philosophy of common sense.

John Dewey

Como lo plantea su título, el presente artículo pretende explorar las características y rasgos propios de la cosmovisión de Dewey, asumiendo la importancia de sus implicaciones en el campo educativo. Desarrolla concretamente las respuestas de Dewey a las grandes preguntas de la cosmovisión: ¿Cuál es la realidad primordial –lo verdaderamente real–? ¿Cuál es la naturaleza de la realidad externa, es decir, del mundo que nos rodea? ¿Qué es un ser humano? ¿Cómo es posible llegar a conocer algo? ¿Cómo podemos saber lo que es correcto y lo que es incorrecto? ¿Cuál es el significado de la historia? A partir de tales respuestas, el artículo reflexiona sobre el naturalismo de la postura de Dewey desde una perspectiva cristiana de la educación.

<p class="p1">Mi propósito en este trabajo es reconsiderar una de las lecturasmás relevantes y provocativas que se han hecho sobre John Dewey en el mundo de habla hispana. En la primera parte reconstruyo las circunstancias que rodearon la difusión, interpretación y traducción de las obras de Dewey en el México de mediados de los años 1940, y en concreto las razones que llevaron a que la visión sociológica que José Medina Echavarría quiso dar de Dewey fuera finalmente desplazada por la filosófica de José Gaos. En la segunda parte analizo la traducción y lectura que Gaos hizo de Experience and Nature de Dewey, teniendo muy presente sus comparaciones con Sein und Zeit de Heidegger (una obra que tradujo en la misma época). Finalmente, propongo algunas críticas a la visión que Gaos transmite de Dewey como un pensador carente de un tipo de “soberbia diabólica” propia de la verdadera gran filosofía.</p>
