Offering a new edition of Dewey's 1916 collection of essays
This critical edition of John Dewey's 1916 collection of writings
on logic, "Essays in Experimental Logic--"in which Dewey presents
his concept of logic as the theory of inquiry and his unique and
innovative development of the relationship of inquiry to
experience--is the first scholarly reprint of the work in one
volume since 1954. "Essays in Experimental Logic, "edited by D.
Micah Hester and Robert B. Talisse, uses the authoritative texts
from the "Collected Works of John Dewey, 1882-1953" (published by
Southern Illinois University Press) and includes as well articles
from leading journals representing various contemporary schools of
philosophy that criticized Dewey's experimentalism.
Culling materials from six volumes of the chronologically arranged
"Collected Works," this single-volume edition of "Essays" marks a
crucial point in Dewey's intellectual development: one in which
Dewey critically engages idealistic and intuitionist theorists and
lays the groundwork for his mature theory of inquiry. The text
includes a new introduction by renowned Dewey scholar Tom Burke
that places "Essays" in philosophical and historical context. In
addition to the original essays, "Essays in Experimental Logic"
also features five critical essays by Dewey's contemporaries,
including Bertrand Russell, Wendell T. Bush, R. F. Alfred Hoernle,
H. T. Costello, and C. S. Peirce.
