This book does much to disple the old canard that John Dewey was guilty of "scientism" and a reverent worship of technological progress. Indeed, Dewey predated the Frankfurt school in his warnings about the dangers inherent in a machine culture. With new advances come new problems, and these can only be dealt with through an instrumentalist approach. Dewey also argued that we have no guarantee of success. Natural events can terminate human life and human greed, laziness, or error could have the same result.

"No one doubts that thought, at least reflective, as distinct from what is sometimes called constitutive, thought, is derivative and secondary. It comes after something and out of something, and for the sake of something. No one doubts that the thinking of everyday practical life and of science is of this reflective type. We think about; we reflect over." (Studies in Logical Theory)

Hailed as "the most important overall reassessment of Dewey in several decades" (Sidney Ratner, Journal of Speculative Philosophy), The Necessity of Pragmatism investigates the most difficult and neglected aspects of Dewey's thought, his metaphysics and logic. R. W. Sleeper argues for a fundamental unity in Dewey's work, a unity that rests on his philosophy of language, and clarifies Dewey's conception of pragmatism as an action-based philosophy with the power to effect social change through criticism and inquiry. Identifying Dewey's differences with his pragmatist forerunners, Charles Sanders Peirce and William James, Sleeper elucidates Dewey's reshaping of pragmatism and the radical significance of his philosophy of culture. In this first paperback edition, a new introduction by Tom Burke establishes the ongoing importance of Sleeper's analysis of the integrity of Dewey's work and its implications for mathematics, aesthetics, and the cognitive sciences.

"The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits." (Democracy and Education) Table of Contents: Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education The Child and the Curriculum The School and Society Schools Of To-morrow The Schools of Utopia Moral Principles in Education Interest and Effort in Education Health and Sex in Higher Education My Pedagogic Creed John Dewey (1859-1952) is one of the primary figures associated with the philosophy of pragmatism and is considered one of the founders of functional psychology. His ideas have been influential in education and social reform. Known for his advocacy of democracy, Dewey considered two fundamental elements—schools and civil society—to be major topics needing attention and reconstruction to encourage experimental intelligence and plurality.

Download Essays in Experimental Logic Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle

This book is a collection of essays that contains 14 of Dewey's most profound papers on a wide range of topics including knowledge, reality, and epistemology. These essays are based on the theory that knowledge implies a judgment resulting from a study. The presence of this "inquiry stage" implies an intermediate and mediating phase between the external world and knowledge, which is influenced by other factors. These essays build on this foundation by looking at the relationship between thought and its subject matter, the antecedents and stimuli of thought, data, and meanings, the objects of thought, the control of ideas by facts, and other related topics. Three essays describe different types of philosophical realism. The first examines Bertrand Russell's principle about "our knowledge of the external world as a field for scientific method"; the other two discuss pragmatism, distinguishing Dewey's position from that of James and Peirce. These essays present their author's most straightforward explanation of his philosophy. The "Stage of Logical Thought" section examines the role of the scientific method in philosophy, and the final essay gives a compelling theory of the logic of values.
