Reconstruction in philosophy; (N.A.L. Mentor books)

John Dewey

New American Library, 1950

Essential to understanding pragmatism and instrumentalism.
John Dewey, as I've heard, was never comfortable with labels. Throughout his career he shifted from and to many rubrics: pragmatism, interactionism, instrumentalism, transactionism, experimentalism. Truth be told, all of these are present in "Reconstruction in Philosophy" and partly because of that, this is probably the best intro to Dewey available. Dewy has a bone to pick with traditional ...

Forest Press, 1989

A must for students.
As a Library Assistant studying for my Library Technician degree this set of books became my best friend. While most colleges or universities will have copies for loan, I found that I oftened added things to the book, thus the importance of having your own copy. The first volume covers the rules for using and assigning DDC numbers. The second and third volumes contain the schedules / ...

A very comprehensive overview of the teaching profession.
I especially like the keywords and reflections at the end of each chapter. I am currently using this book as a text in a course designed for students who are seriously considering teaching as a career.

I loved this book
I was a student teacher who taught the IMP curriculum and I wasn't really impressed with the whole experience. After reading this book, my whole conception of learning changed and I realized that any curriculum based environment is not really Dewey since it seperates the learning from the real world. I liked this book so much that I had to buy copies for interested friends. It's ...

Individualism,: Old and new,

John Dewey

Minton, Balch & Company, 1930

One of the best philosophical socialist books
You wouldn't think it, but this little baby packs a huge radical punch. Written in 1929 after the Depression set in it's Dewey's testament on what he thought society would have to do to solve that kind of systemic problem and survive. What comes out from Dewey's experiential philosophy is a radical critique of individualism that fit's into the category today of "Council Communism" or "Autonomous ...

Experience Recovered! An Embodied, Naturalistic, Empiricism
In this excellent read, John Dewey further exploits his concept of "experience" as foundational to human knowledge. Dewey's concept of "experience" represents a breakthrough in empiricism, as "experience" for Dewey is not merely "sense impressions" as it was for earlier empiricists. Dewey's "experience" is an iterative process and thoroughlly embodied; the qualities of each individual ...

The Essential Dewey, Volume 1: Pragmatism, Education, Democracy

Thomas M. Alexander, John Dewey

Indiana University Press, 1998

Good introduction to Dewey
I believe that John Dewey was one of the most important philosophers in history, bar none. But he is not easy to read, in part because of the subtlety of his thinking, in part because of his prose style, which can be ponderous and convoluted. My first encounter with him was in "Pragmatism: A Reader" by Louis Menard (Pragmatism: A Reader), and I was not thrilled. For some reason, I decided to ...

John Dewey, 1972

Review of Dewey's A Common Faith
In this book John Dewey presents a compelling argument for a union of religious and social ideals, and for consistency in both idea and action. Although the book is brief, the rhetoric is dense and the thesis is thought-provoking. This volume is an excellent example of Dewey's social and political thought. It should be read and considered not only by social scientists, but also by Christians ...

Cosmo (Publications,India), 2005

Better the second time around.
I had never heard of John Dewey until I took a philosophy class. When I first received the book, I read through it relatively fast. Much of the material went over my head. However, on the second reading it was as if the pages were illuminated. In this book, Mr. Dewey gives his opinion on how we humans learn. It takes every day simple actions, breakes them up into their smallest unit and ...

Swallow Press, 1954

A Most Important Book
Derived from a series of lectures Dewey gave in 1927, The Public and Its Problems touches on virtually all the major political philosophy questions of our day. One marvels at its continued relevance into the 21st Century. Dewey, arguably the United States' greatest thinker, does an amazing job in sifting through the problems contemporary society faces when forming a polity. The point Public and ...

Freedom in Democracy Rejects Absolutism & Ulitmate Ends
John Dewey was an American who supported democracy. In this he leaned towards being a Democrat, rejecting the absolutism found in Republican conservatives. This book was written in 1939 when the scare of totalitarian governments were growing around the world. The idea that many of these people willingly gave up their democratic values and freedom in support of a dictatorial control was the ...

John Dewey

Southern Illinois University Press, 1984

AKA The Quest for Certainty
This fourth volume in the "Later Works" collection consists exclusively of Dewey's book, "The Quest for Certainty." It is a shame that the book has gone out of print under its own title, but this reprint usefully fills the gap. Included are an introduction by Stephen Toulmin, an outline syllabus of the lectures upon which the text is based, and a pagination guide to convert this pagination to ...

Anomalist Books, 2005

Excellent study of the UKs biggest UFO flap
I have to agree with Dr David Clarke when he wrote : "This is a fascinating and absorbing book which should be read by everyone who wants to know 'the truth' behind the UFO mystery." This book is extremely well written, and thorough. The authors never take themselves too seriously, so whilst being a serious study, it is never dry or dull. I read this book because I lived in Warminster for a ...

Great below-decks descriptions.
It is early 1782 and Desperate, 20 guns, having 'retreated gracefully' from the Yorktown debacle is now in train with Admiral Hood's fleet running down to the Caribbean. Unfortunately, the Frogs are chasing under the command of the wily de Grasse, who didn't get where he is by avoiding encounters. The action starts soon enough and de Grasse exploits every possibility to bring the Rosbifs to task, ...

Child and the Curriculum: The School and Society

John Dewey

University Of Chicago Press, 1956

Why going to school ?
From a high school student's point of view, reading Dewey couldn't provide something else than hope for educational systems, most of which, despite the efforts of making a school a more living atmosphere, organizations still remain too mechanical in learning procedures and detached from social applications regarding the capabilities they serve. Originally from Cameroon, I've had the ...

This book was...
Fantastic; a book I would recommend to just about anyone. To address some of the critics mentioned in the other reviews: RE: "Dewey Dogma" (1) There is absolutely no pretense of an application of the scientific method, hence there can be no mis-application; (2) This book strikes me personally as one of the least dogmatic things I've ever read in my life. The ideas are fresh, original, and ...
