Product Description
John Dewey was an icon of philosophy and psychology during the first half of the 20th century. Known as the father of Functional Psychology and a pivotal figure of the Pragmatist movement, he also played a strong hand in the progressive movement in education. This concise and critical look at Dewey's work examines his discourse of right and wrong, as well as political notions such as freedom, rights, liberty, equality, and naturalism.

Dewey explained and illuminated July 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Clear, readable, and well-balanced critical review of a wider range of Dewey's philosophical endeavors than any of the comparable studies of Dewey. Don't be fooled by the brevity and price of this little book--it delves deeply into the most important issues while bringing those new to Dewey along for the journey. Recommended for philosophers and intelligent readers alike. For selected topics (e.g., psychology, education, ethics, religion) this book can be of great help any teacher who wants their students to get a solid familiarization with Dewey's views in those areas, but cannot devote a large chunk of the semester to reading primary Dewey sources. To philosophy teachers, this is a great way to work Dewey into courses focusing on historical sequences, epistemology, aesthetics, political philosophy, ethics, religion, courses. Most important, it reads well--it moves along briskly with good examples and straightforward explanations. Dewey explained!
