Description

Dewey asking philosophy to come down from the metaphysic and into the mess. Reconstruction in Philosophy, unabridged English: pragmatism as a rebuild, experience as the test, the modern world as the brief. Listen to a call against abstract consolation. Intelligence as a tool among tools. Not a period piece of American optimism only — a demand that thought earn its keep in culture. Adelphi/Sovereign spoken Dewey: reconstruction as a verb, philosophy as a civic craft, the lecture as a challenge you can hear.

Author

John Dewey, a renowned American philosopher and educator, was an eminent exponent of the pragmatist school of thought. Drawing heavily from the works of his predecessors such as William James and Charles Sanders Peirce, Dewey developed a comprehensive philosophy that emphasized the interdependency between knowledge acquisition and practical experiences.
