Annotation: Offering a new edition of Dewey's 1916 collection of essays


This critical edition of John Dewey's 1916 collection of writings on logic, "Essays in Experimental Logic--"in which Dewey presents his concept of logic as the theory of inquiry and his unique and innovative development of the relationship of inquiry to experience--is the first scholarly reprint of the work in one volume since 1954. "Essays in Experimental Logic, "edited by D. Micah Hester and Robert B. Talisse, uses the authoritative texts from the "Collected Works of John Dewey, 1882-1953" (published by Southern Illinois University Press) and includes as well articles from leading journals representing various contemporary schools of philosophy that criticized Dewey's experimentalism.


Culling materials from six volumes of the chronologically arranged "Collected Works," this single-volume edition of "Essays" marks a crucial point in Dewey's intellectual development: one in which Dewey critically engages idealistic and intuitionist theorists and lays the groundwork for his mature theory of inquiry. The text includes a new introduction by renowned Dewey scholar Tom Burke that places "Essays" in philosophical and historical context. In addition to the original essays, "Essays in Experimental Logic" also features five critical essays by Dewey's contemporaries, including Bertrand Russell, Wendell T. Bush, R. F. Alfred Hoernle, H. T. Costello, and C. S. Peirce.
