Reconstruction In Philosophy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162956930)

""Reconstruction in Philosophy"" is a seminal work by the renowned American philosopher, John Dewey. Originally published in 1920, this book is a collection of essays that explore Dewey's views on the nature of philosophy and its role in society. In this book, Dewey argues that philosophy should be viewed as a practical and dynamic discipline that is concerned with solving real-world problems rather than abstract speculation. He also emphasizes the importance of science and empirical evidence in shaping philosophical inquiry. Dewey's ideas on education and democracy are also central to this book. He believes that education should be focused on developing critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities, rather than simply memorizing facts. Similarly, he argues that democracy is not just a political system, but a way of life that requires active participation and engagement from all citizens. Overall, ""Reconstruction in Philosophy"" is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to shape the field of philosophy today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, education, and democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
