John Dewey and the Paradox of Liberal Reform is written by William Andrew Paringer and published by State University of New York Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1438415508 (ISBN 10) and 9781438415505 (ISBN 13).

This book provides a fresh critique of John Dewey and the progressive tradition and warns against the superficial renaissance of Deweyan philosophy present in many of today's modern liberal educational reform movements. Challenging the four pillars of Dewey's pragmatism — science, nature, democracy, experience — Paringer argues for a critical or radical education praxis that more sensitively comes to grips with the difficulties of the nuclearized, postmodern world.
