Summary/Abstract: In the center of the current paper I put the way John Dewey talks about the connection education-democracy with the only aim and hope to elucidate the Bulgarian educational context today. I will analyze two of the articles from his latest works where Dewey explicates this connection pointing out the challenge to democracy as it confronts education. Through the basic categories that Dewey uses – information, knowledge and intelligence – the analysis reveals how education could meet the challenge of democracy, mainly in the specifi c context of education.
