Description
John Dewey's Earlier Logical Theory by James Scott Johnston provides a comprehensive analysis of the philosopher's pre-1916 work on logic. This study offers an unparalleled account of the development of Dewey's thinking in logic, examining various themes and issues that shaped his systematic logical theory. The book delves into the context of logical inquiry, the ingredients of logical inquiry, and the distinctiveness of instrumentalist logical theory. Johnston also explores the benefits of logical theory to practical concerns, particularly ethics and education. By reevaluating Dewey's earlier works in relation to his later work on logic, Johnston sheds new light on the development of Dewey's philosophical thought. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of Dewey's philosophy, offering a nuanced understanding of his logical theory and its significance in the history of philosophy.
