Nietzsche and Dewey s Life Philosophy and Its Educational Meanings - Focusing on Nietzsche s “self-overcoming” and Dewey s “self-renewal”

The study seeks to find the educational meaning of Nietzsche and Dewey by comparing their philosophy of life. To this end, I looked at the meaning and characteristics of the life philosophy of Nietzsche and the life philosophy of Dewey by focusing on each of their core ideas: ‘self-overcoming’ by Nietzsche and ‘self-renewal’ by Dewey. Through the comparison of the two, I come up with educational implications. As a result, there was a stark difference in the process of the two. While Nietzsche s self-overcoming process featured individual “skin-off”, Dewey s self-renewal process characterized “adaptation” through continuity with the environment and interaction. Nevertheless, the common implication of Nietzsche s self-overcoming and Dewey s self-renewal is that the essence of their life lies in the constant creation of their own lives. Also, such a creative life require education and training alongside the internal efforts of individuals. From this, I have suggested the role of education in the reality of our Korean education, which is tired of the college entrance exam-oriented knowledge transfer education. It is in helping learners create a true self-life.
