Theodore Brameld (20 January 1904 – 1987) was a leading philosopher and educator who supported the educational philosophy of social reconstructionism. His philosophy originated in 1928 when he enrolled as a doctoral student at the University of Chicago in the field of philosophy where he trained under the progressive philosopher and politician, T.V. Smith. After becoming intrigued by John Dewey’s philosophy of education, Brameld developed his own theory of schools being the ultimate source to bring about political and social change.
Theodore Burghard Hurt Brameld was born in Neillsville, Wisconsin in 1904. After graduating from Neillsville High School in 1922, he went on to Ripon College where he received his AB degree in English in 1926. Brameld graduated in 1931 when he completed his dissertation, A Philosophic Approach to Communism, which was eventually published in 1933 and set the standard for the rest of his life's work.
Brameld was a prominent supporter of the Soviet Union and often wrote articles on the relationship between teaching and "social change". Like most in the "progressive" education movement, his objectives were the indoctrination of students in overthrowing the American capitalist system. In an article in the leftist journal "The Social Frontier" in 1936, Brameld wrote an article called "Karl Marx And The American Teacher" in which he outlined the many subtle ways a teacher could influence his students into collectivist thinking. Brameld was also a frequent contributor to the pro Stalin journal "Science and Society".
Life after receiving doctorate[edit]
Upon completing his doctorate in 1931, he spent much of his time teaching at various places of higher learning. He first taught at Long Island University (1931-1935) and Adelphi College (1935-1939) in New York. He then continued on to the University of Minnesota (1939-1947), New York University (1947-1958), and Boston University (1958-1969). Throughout his years of teaching, he continued to research his Reconstructionist ideas by implementing them into a school setting at Floodwood High School in Minnesota. In this project, he worked with administrators to develop an educational program for the juniors and seniors which involved learning by critical thinking. He tried to convince the students and teachers that controversial issues and problems must play a huge role in education. No issue was considered off-limits for students to discuss and analyze. He was completely okay with posing his argument both inside and outside the classroom.
During his long career as a philosopher and educator, Brameld held lectures in the United States and across the globe. He became the author of more than a dozen books having to do with his philosophy of reconstructionism. In 1945, he wrote Minority Problems in the Public Schools which confronted social unfairness like prejudice, discrimination, and economic exploitation in schools. Continuing on his philosophy, he published Patterns of Educational Philosophy: A Democratic Interpretation in 1950 that helped cultivate his view of four philosophies of education: essentialism, perennialism, progressivism, and reconstructionism. He decided that of the four philosophies, reconstructionism was the philosophy responding best to the time period.
