In Experience and Nature, for instance, Dewey declared that “shared experience is the greatest of human goods.” Since the ability to reason and communicate was what made human beings distinctive, men and women could realize their humanity only insofar as they were able to participate in the experiences that language made possible. “To learn to be human is to develop through the give-and-take of communication an effective sense of being an individually distinctive member of a community; one who understands and appreciates its beliefs, desires and methods, and who contributes to a further conversion of organic powers into human resources and values.”
