From Problem to Ideology:Young Mao Zedong's Adaptation and Transcendence of John Dewey's Experimentalist View on Problems——With the Constitution of the Problem Research Association as a model
The Constitution of the Problem Research Association is an important document for studying the young Mao Zedong's views on problems.As a young man,Mao Zedong attached great importance to researching on problems and the position,perspectives,and methods of observing problems.This is closely related to the ideas about problem-solving methods promoted by John Dewey during the period of May Fourth New Culture Movement.The young Mao Zedong was deeply influenced by Dewey.He focused attention on prob-lems,emphasized that research must be grounded in reality and valued the transformative role of education in society.He attached great importance to solving problems through investigative research,especially by obtaining first-hand information through field investigations.The young Mao Zedong stressed that ideology is a prerequisite for solving problems.However,such factors as differences in understand-ing of ideologies and the influence of the development of social ideological trends led him to part ways from Dewey and ultimately choose Marxist materialist dialectics.
