This book provides a wide-ranging, systematic, and comprehensive
approach to the moral philosophy of John Dewey, one of the most
important philosophers of the 20th century. It does so by focusing
on his greatest achievement in this field: the Ethics he jointly
published with James Hayden Tufts in 1908 and then republished in a
heavily revised version in 1932. The essays in this volume are
divided into two distinct parts. The first features essays that
provide a running commentary on the chapters of the 1932 Ethics
written by Dewey. Each chapter is introduced, situated within a
historical perspective, and then its main achievements are
highlighted and discussed. The second part of the book interprets
the Ethics and demonstrates its contemporary relevance and
vitality. The essays in this part situate the Ethics in the broader
interpretive frameworks of Dewey's philosophy, American pragmatism,
and 20th-century moral theory at large. Taken together, these
essays show that, far from being a mere survey of moral theories,
the 1932 Ethics presents the theoretical highpoint in Dewey's
thinking about moral philosophy. This book features contributions
by some of the most influential Dewey scholars from North America
and Europe. It will be of keen interest to scholars and students of
American pragmatism, ethics and moral philosophy, and the history
of 20th-century philosophy.
