Understanding John Dewey: Nature and Cooperative Intelligence (International Studies in Philosophy)

About this book

"This beautifully written work is the best general introduction to Deweys philosophy. The exposition is greatly enriched by Campbells provision of the historical context of Deweys aims and enquiries". -- James Gouinlock Emory University "Understanding John Dewey will be as useful to those coming to Dewey for the first time as to Dewey specialists. Few scholars combine as well as Campbell does deep knowledge of American intellectual history and skill in philosophical analysis". -- Peter H. Hare Editor Transactions of the Peirce Society "A book not merely readable but elegant and lucid not merely adequate but exemplary in its scholarship. Campbells exposition is a skillfully crafted matrix in which Deweys own words achieve a momentum and clarity seldom achieved in their original settings while a chorus composed mostly of Deweys contemporaries provide illuminating commentary from Campbells footnotes". -- International Studies in Philosophy
