John Dewey was America’s greatest public philosopher. His work
stands out for its remarkable breadth, and his deep commitment to
democracy led him to courageous progressive stances on issues such
as war, civil liberties, and racial, class, and gender
inequalities. This book collects the clearest and most powerful of
his public writings and shows how they continue to speak to the
challenges we face today. An introductory essay and short
introductions to each of the texts discuss the current relevance
and significance of Dewey’s work and legacy. The book includes
forty-six essays on topics such as democracy in the United States,
political power, education, economic justice, science and society,
and philosophy and culture. These essays inspire optimism for the
possibility of a more humane public and political culture, in which
citizens share in the pursuit of lifelong education through
participation in democratic life. The essays in America’s Public
Philosopher reveal John Dewey as a powerful example for anyone
seeking to address a wider audience and a much-needed voice for all
readers in search of intellectual and moral leadership.
