English abstract
American philosophers John Dewey and Richard Rorty agree in emphasising the necessary indeterminacy of the notion of 'growth' in order to leave evolutionary perspectives open. Their points of view diverge, however, when it comes to valorising the period of childhood. An analysis of the two conceptions of the 'ages of life’ allows the author to identify two philosophies of education. Rorty wishes to foreground literary education and the relations between teachers and students. For him the notion of growth finds its real home in the university, whereas Dewey highlights the importance of a general method applicable in all educational institutions.
