Opis

Except for "Democracy and Education, "the 53 items in Volume 10 include all of Dewey s writings from 1916 1917, the years when he moved into politics and began to write about topics of general public interest. The best known of Dewey s writings in this volume is the essay from "Creative Intelligence," " " The Need for a Recovery of Philosophy. Here Dewey asserts that Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method for dealing with the problems of men. Dewey put that idea into practice, as Lewis E. Hahn points out in his introduction. In 1916 1917 Dewey] commented on quite a range of issues from compulsory universal military training to the Wilson-Hughes presidential campaign, from conscription of thought to the future of pacifism, from what America will fight for to appropriate peace terms . . . and from American education and culture to contemporary issues in education, with the war casting a shadow over most of the items.
