A proposito di questo titolo

 In this groundbreaking collection of essays, renowned American philosopher John Dewey explores the limitations of idealistic, realistic, and analytic schools of thought, emphasizing the importance of a pragmatic and experimental approach to understanding experience. Unlike the abstract theorizing of coherentist and correspondence theories of logic, Dewey champions a perspective rooted in the tangible realities of science and everyday life. His insightful introduction lays the foundation for the naturalistic and process-oriented metaphysics that he elaborates on in later works like Experience and Nature and Logic The Theory of Inquiry. Chapters 3-6 provide a critical examination of the idealistic logic prevalent in his era, with a focused critique of the German logician Hermann Lotze. In Chapters 7-8, Dewey distinguishes between mere acquaintance with the external world and a deeper understanding of it. He presents a logic deeply intertwined with the concrete interactions of organisms within their natural environments. Deweys logic of experience is vital for comprehending his diverse contributions to education, art, politics, pragmatism, and science. (Summary by P. J. Taylor)Copyright Politics, Philosophy, Religion Filosofia Scienza Scienze sociali
