Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 5x1x8; Volume 12. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Pages unmarked. xxv, 549 p., 21 cm. John Dewey was an American philosopher and educator who was a cofounder of the philosophical movement known as pragmatism, a pioneer in functional psychology, an innovative theorist of democracy, and a leader of the progressive movement in education in the United States. Dewey developed extensive and often systematic views in ethics, epistemology, logic, metaphysics, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion. Because Dewey typically took a genealogical approach that couched his own view within the larger history of philosophy, one may also find a fully developed metaphilosophy in his work.
