Introduction by Abraham Edel and Elizabeth Flower
This seventh volume provides an authoritative edition of Dewey and James H. Tufts 1932 Ethics.
Dewey and Tufts state that the books aim is: To induce a habit of thoughtful consideration, of envisaging the full meaning and consequences of individual conduct and social policies,” insisting throughout that ethics must be constantly concerned with the changing problems of daily life.
Synopsis
This volume includes all Dewey's writings for 1938 except for "Logic: The Theory of Inquiry "(Volume 12 of The Later Works), as well as his 1939 "Freedom and Culture, Theory of Valuation, "and two items from "Intelligence in the Modern World."
""
"Freedom and Culture "presents, as Steven M. Cahn points out, "the essence of his philosophical position: a commitment to a free society, critical intelligence, and the education required for their advance."
