John Dewey (1859-1952), hailed during his lifetime as "America s
Philosopher," is now recognized as one of the seminal thinkers of
the twentieth century. His critical work ranged more broadly than
that of either of his contemporaries, Martin Heidegger and Ludwig
Wittgenstein, and he anticipated by several decades some of their
most trenchant insights. Dewey s ground breaking contributions to
philosophy, psychology, and educational theory continue to animate
research on the cutting edges of those fields.
The twelve original interpretive essays included here locate Dewey
s major works within their historical context and present a timely
reevaluation of each of the major areas of his broad philosophical
reach. They explore his contributions to logic, ethics, social and
political philosophy, the philosophies of religion and art,
metaphysics, and the philosophy of the human sciences. They also
locate Dewey s work as it relates to the dominant strands of modern
philosophy, as it participates in the major debates of continental
philosophy from phenomenology to post-structuralism, and as an
early contribution to feminist thought.
