Dewey's philosophy of democracy is the pr oduct of the era of his life, which is formed in the process of Dewey's criticism and perfection of traditional philosophy. Dewey has experienced the student role, the role of teacher, the role of management, the role of education in the gradual process of change, but the same is Dewey's life is always struggling in the education front. Therefore, Dewey gradually refined and formed his own de mocratic philosophy thoug ht system through the critique to the traditional philosophy thought, and established the democratic philosophy as the core of his philosophy. At the sam e time, with the expansion of the influence of Dewey' s philosophy, Dewey his philosophical thoughts, especially the de mocratic philosophy extended to the world, China is no exception), deeply influenced the trend of m odern education in the whole world, so Dewey is the history of mode rn education a top education thinker.The basic content of Dewey' s democratic philosophy is: "as a political form of democracy" and "democracy as a way of life" ". At the sa me time, Dewey believed that " as a form of political democracy, will eventually change with the replacement of dynasties and social sys tem changes, the state will change, its jus t the product of political system, do not have continuity and sustainable development. Therefore, "as a political form of democracy," at least not so close to the people, or roo ted in the soil of the people. And "the dem ocracy as a way of life" is to th ought and ideas between people as the fertile soil extract, and the idea of not superior, maverick, is usually reflect the daily life of democratic demand and the democratic state, the representative is respect for the law of development of life, but also respect the ob jective law of things, so it has a "is not only in life and guidance of life " the basic characteristics. Therefore, Dewey will "as a way of life of democracy" as the core of his philosophy of democracy.The philosophy of John Dewey's democracy "as a way of life of de mocracy" is a philosophical theory guiding ideology, to in prac tice embodies the guiding significance and value of philosophy can be selected by wa y of education to achieve. Because "the democracy as a way of life" is rooted in the lives of the people of th e democratic thoughts of sublimation, in or der to ensure the achievement and the continuity of his thoughts, education is th e best platform. It not only has the thought in favor of the expansion and continuity, but also conducive to the continuation of thought in secondary s pread or multi ge nerational transmission and "fidelity". Therefore, education provides the suitable soil and the clim ate for the growth of "democracy as a way of life", and provides the basis, guarantee and operation method. The quality of education enables the idea of democracy to continue to be interp reted, thus providing a practical approach to Dewe y's philosophy of "life style". W e just need to ensure the degree of i mplementation of the "democracy as a way of life" in the process of education, if we can do this, I believe that education implementation of "democracy as a way o f life" is very feasible. Therefore, it is of great historical and practical significance to realize the "democracy as a way of life" with education.
