Opis

This ninth volume in The Later Works of John Dewey, 1925--1953, brings together sixty items from 1933 and 1934, including Dewey's Terry Lec-tures at Yale University, published as A Common Faith. In his introduction, Milton R. Konvitz concludes that A Common Faith remains a provocative book, an intellectual 'teaser, ' an essay at religious philoso-phy which no philosopher can wholly bypass.- Dewey concentrated much of his writing in 1933 and 1934 on issues arising from the economic crises of the Great Depression. In the early 1930s Com-munist activity in the New York Teachers Union in-creased. The Report of the Special Grievance Committee of the Teachers Union is published in this volume, as is Dewey's impromptu address, -On the Grievance Committee's Report, - made when he presented that report. Rounding out the volume are eighteen arti-cles from the People's Lobby Bulletin.
