Kulp provides a thorough examination of John Dewey's influential
arguments against traditional theories of knowledge; in particular
against a traditional spectator theory of knowledge, the thesis
that knowing is fundamentally a passive beholding relation between
the knower and the object known. Kulp presents Dewey's arguments
with unusual clarity, but, ultimately, finds them deficient. He
also lays the basis for a defense of a spectator theory of having
knowledge, a basis that incorporates important considerations about
introspective knowledge. American philosophers have recently
revived their interest in Dewey's work. Such philosophers as well
as students and scholars involved with the study of American
thought and schools of philosophy will find Kulp's book extremely
useful.
