For 10 points, name this American philosopher who wrote Democracy and Education.
This thinker attempted to unite how sensory stimuli and motor responses were viewed in his article "The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology."  In one work, he attacks Walter Lippman's view that the citizens of a democracy do not really possess any power because, despite the destracting influence of technology, they can form "local communities," while in another work he outlined his views on aesthetics by claiming that it is the entire process and the thought that goes into creating works of (*) art that is what makes them great.  In addition to The Public and its Problems and Art as Experience, he advocated a scientific method of acquiring knowledge in his magnum opus, which tried to balance the emphasis on the individul and the emphasis on the society within the context of learning.
