Editorial Review Product Description Volume 1 of The Early Works of John Dewey, 18821898” is entitled Early Essays and Leibniz’s New Essays Concerning the Human Understanding, 18821888.” Included here are all Dewey’s earliest writings, from his first published article through his book on Leibniz. The materials in this volume provide a chronological record of Dewey’s early developmentbeginning with the article he sent to the Journal of Speculative Philosophy in 1881 while he was a high-school teacher in Oil City, Pennsylvania, and closing with his widely-acclaimed work on Leibniz in the Grigg’s Series of German Philosophical Classics, written when he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan. During these years between 1882 and 1888, Dewey’s life course was established: he decided to follow a career in philosophy, completed doctoral studies at Johns Hopkins University, became an Instructor at the University of Michigan, was promoted to Assistant Professor, and accepted a position as Chairman of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota. With the publication of Psychology, he became well known among scholars in this country; a series of articles in the British journal Mind brought him prominence in British philosophical circles. His articles were abstracted in the Revue philosophique. None of the articles collected in this volume was reprinted during the author’s lifetime. For the first time, it is now possible for Dewey scholars to study consecutively in one publication all the essays which originally appeared in many periodicals. |

A Visionary of the Everyday Dewey's thought resists easy summation.His writing style, particularly in his philosophical works, was long, winding, obscure and difficult to follow. As did many thinkers in the 20th Century, Dewey changed and modified his views with some frequency during the course of his life. Alan Ryan has written an exellent study of John Dewey which explores Dewey's life, the influences upon him, his philosophical writings, his political activism, and the rises and falls in Dewey's reputation after his death.The book is somewhat dense and repetitive, but this too is a characteristic of the writings of its subject.Ryan writes insightfully in trying to place Dewey as philosophically somewhere between the despair of European existentialists such as Heidegger and Sartre and the English-American analytical philosophy of the 20th Century which denied that philosophical thought had a distinctive contribution to make to human intellectual endeavor. I thought Ryan was good in discussing Dewey's early Congregationalit upbringing and his falling away from Christianity.I also thought Ryan placed good emphasis on the Hegelian idealism which Dewey adopted early in his career.The book could have used a fuller discussion of the nature of Hegelian idealism.As I read Ryan's book, I thought that Dewey retained even more of a Hegelian influence in his later thought than Ryan recognized.Dewey's emphasis on holistic thinking and on the relationship of the community and the individual remains Hegelian -- a naturalized Hegelianism as Ryan points out. Ryan discussed Dewey's educational work at the University of Chicago.This is the aspect of Dewey's work that is best known.As Ryan points out, Dewey is often criticized for the shortcomings of American education.He is blamed, probably unjustifiably, for a lack of discipline and academic knowledge in too many American students.Ryan does point out, in fairness, that Dewey's actual educational theory was obscure in many points and undeveloped in specifics.It is hard to know just what Dewey had in mind, but it surely was not laxness and a deference to the wishes of young children. I thought the strongest aspect of Ryan's book was his discussion of Dewey's mature philosophical writings, in particular "Experience and Nature" "A Common Faith" and "Art and Experience."In these works, Dewey tried to develop a philosophical pragmatism which was based on science and secularism.He denied the existence of an objective independent truth which science tries to capture and also denied subjectivism.Dewey recognized that human experience could be viewed from many perspectives and he struggled to explain how many of the goals of the religious and artistic life were consistent with science and secularism.He wanted to show them as perspectives equally important to the scientific perspective and to disclaim a concept of truth as "out there" rather than as sought,developed and made through human social activity.Dewey's position is difficult and, to his credit, Ryan does not simplify it.Ryan's exposition is challenging and made me want to read some of Dewey for myself. A great deal of Ryan's book is devoted to Dewey's career as a public intellectual commenting on the issues of the day, as he saw them.Dewey travelled to Russia and China, investigated the Russian show trials of Trotsky and others, supported American participation in WW I, and advocated social liberalism.Ryan discusses Dewey's positions fully and intelligently and explores how Dewey's issues remain alive in the late 20th (and early 21st)century.The discussion of American political life and of the role of ideas is fascinating even though I frequently did not agree either with Dewey or with Ryan. Ryan recognizes the paradoxical nature of the work of this American thinker. Dewey was a philosopher who critized sharply thought and reflection separate from action.He was a secularist who saw the importance of religion.He recognized the nature of industrial society but stressed the importance of art and culture.Dewey was, as Ryan points out in his conclusion
The life of Dewey and 100 years of American thought Educators, graduate students in education and philosophy, politicians, and anyone genuinely interested in American thought will be inpsired by Ryan to dig further--to read more by Dewey, to read more of the history of American ideas not just events in America ...

Casualties of Darwinism
A bit repetitive and difficult, but still worth it First, all of these essays speak on the common theme of pragmatic metaphysics (epistemology?). This alone is a difficult (but immensely rewarding) subject. Fortunately, two of the best essays here ("Nature and its good" and "A short catechism concerning truth") are in dialogue form - something Dewey did only twice. Other than those two there is some brilliant - and tedious - philosophy here. Of course, the title article needs no introduction - it is a standard and rightly so. "The experimental theory of knowledge" and "The intellectualist criterion of truth" both go far in explaining how Dewey breaks the dualism of real/ideal in metaphysics. "Beleifs and Existences" is also a great essay for understanding how Dewey looks at beliefs, not objects, as the 'creator of the world'. Overall, I have to say that, in honesty, the book gets quite repititious about 2/3rds through. The basic gist is that the essays here map out Dewey's 'experimentalism' by showing how both the intellectualist idea of a priori or absolute truth 'out there', and empiricist concept of passive experience, are both flawed. Dewey outlays his brand of pragmatism, stemming from the naturalism touched on in title essay. For Dewey fans, this is a great read. For those semi-interested and versed in Dewey, recommended but possibly after you've read "Quest for Certainty" (which, I think, is a more 'important' and even 'inviting' book). For the novice to Dewey, this is not the book to get. Read 'The Essential Dewey: vol. 1" first. ... Read more |
