The first essay in this volume, "The Development of American Pragmatism," is perhaps Dewey's best-known article of these years, emphasizing the uniquely American origins of his own philosophi­cal innovations. Other essays focus on Dewey's continuing investigation of the "nature of intelligent conduct," as, for example, his debate with David Wight Prall on the underpinnings of value, his study of sense-perception, and his support for outlawing of war. Also appearing here are Dewey's final articles on the culture of the developing world, written for the New Republic after his travels to China, Turkey, and Mexico.
