v. 4. 1907-1909 ISBN 9780809307760
内容説明
By 1907, the first of the three years em braced by Volume 4, Dewey had aban doned thoughts of a possible career in the administration of higher education and was firmly established as a leading member of the Department of Phi losophy at Columbia. As Lewis Hahn points out in his Introduction, these were "very productive years for Dewey. In addition to numerous lectures and speaking engagements and participa tion in professional meetings, he pub lished fifteen or so substantial articles, almost as many shorter things, a syl labus on The Pragmatic Movement of Contemporary Thought, a monograph on Moral Principles in Education, and, with J. H. Tufts, the first edition of a very popular textbook, Ethics."

v. 5. 1908 ISBN 9780809308347
内容説明
This fifth volume of the Middle Works contains Ethics by John Dewey and his former colleague at the University of Michigan, James H. Tufts, which ap peared as one of the last in the Holt American Science series of textbooks. Within some six months after publica tion, Ethics was adopted as a textbook by thirty colleges. The book continued to be extremely popular and widely used, and was reprinted twenty-five times before both authors completely revised their respective parts for the new 1932 edition. Up to the time Ethics was published, Dewey's approach to ethics was known primarily from two short publications that were developed for use by his classes at the University of Michigan: Outlines of a Critical Theory of Ethics (1891) and The Study of Ethics: A Syl labus (1894). Charles Stevenson notes in his Introduction to the present edition that Ethics afforded Dewey an opportu nity to preserve and enrich the content of those earlier works and at the same time to expound his position in a more systematic manner.

v. 6. 1910-1911 ISBN 9780809308354
内容説明
William James, remarking in 1909on the differences among the three leading spokesmen for pragmatism--himself, F. C. S. Schiller, and John Dewey--said that Schiller's views were essential ly "psychological," his own, "epistemo logical," whereas Dewey's "panorama is the widest of the three."
The two main subjects of Dewey's essays at this time are also two of the most fundamental and persistent philo sophical questions: the nature of knowl edge and the meaning of truth. Dewey's distinctive analysis is concentrated chiefly in seven essays, in a long, sig nificant, and previously almost un known work entitled "The Problem of Truth," and in his book How We Think. As a whole, the 1910-11writings il lustrate especially well that which the Thayers identify in their Introduction as Dewey's "deepening concentration on questions of logic and epistemology as contrasted with the more pronounced psychological and pedagogical treat ment in earlier writings."

v. 7. 1912-1914 ISBN 9780809308811
内容説明
During the three years embraced by Volume 7, Dewey published twenty articlesand reviews, one of the articles of monograph-length, "The Psychology of Social Behavior," one small book, Interest and Effort in Education, and sev enty encyclopedia articles.
A salient and arresting feature of the essays is the continuing polemic be tween Dewey and some of his critics. Ralph Ross, whose perceptive Introduc tion to the volume provides a broad per spective of the various philosophicalcontroversies in which Dewey was en gaged, comments that "when Dewey was pitting himself against important adversaries, his talents as a critic were fully evident."

v. 8. 1915 ISBN 9780809308828
内容説明
Volume 8 comprises all Dewey's pub lished writings for the year 1915--andonlyfor 1915, a year of typically ele vated productivity, which saw publica tion of fifteen articles and miscellaneous pieces and three books, two of which are reprinted here: German Philosophy and Politics and Schools of Tomorrow.
Professor Hook says that the publica tions in this volume reveal John Dewey at the height of his philosophical pow ers. Even though his greatest works were still to come--Democracy and Education, Experience and Nature, The Quest for Certainty, and Logic: The Theory of Inquiry--"thethemes elaborated there in were already sounded and developed with incisive brevity in the articles and books of this banner year."

v. 9. 1916 ISBN 9780809309337
内容説明
John Dewey’s best-known and still-popular classic, Democracy and Education, is presented here as a new edition in Volume 9 of the Middle Works. Sidney Hook, who wrote the introduction to this volume, describes Democracy and Education: “It illuminates directly or indirectly all the basic issues that are central today to the concerns of intelligent educators. . . . It throws light on several obscure corners in Dewey’s general philosophy in a vigorous, simple prose style often absent in his more technical writings. And it is the only work in any field originally published as a textbook that has not merely acquired the status of a classic, but has become the one book that no student concerned with the philosophy of education today should leave unread.” Dewey said in 1930 that Democracy and Education, “was for many years the one [book] in which my philosophy . . . was most fully expounded.”

v. 10. 1916-1917 ISBN 9780809309344
内容説明
Except for Democracy and Education, the 53 items in Volume 10 include all of Dewey's writings from 1916-1917, the years when he moved into politics and began to write about topics of general public interest. The best known of Dewey's writings in this volume is the essay from Creative Intelligence, "The Need for a Recovery of Philosophy." Here Dewey asserts that "Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a de vice for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method for dealing with the problems of men." Dewey put that idea into practice, as Lewis E. Hahn points out in his intro duction. "In 1916-1917 [Dewey] com mented on quite a range of issues from compulsory universal military training to the Wilson-Hughes presidential cam paign, from conscription of thought to the future of pacifism, from what Amer ica will fight for to appropriate peace terms . . . and from American educa tion and culture to contemporary issues in education, with the war casting a shadow over most of the items."

v. 11. 1918-1919 ISBN 9780809310036
内容説明
Volume 11 brings together all of Dewey's writings for 1918 and 1919. A Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions textual edition. Dewey's dominant theme in these pages is war and its after math. In the Introduction, Oscar and Lilian Handlin discuss his philosophy within the historical context: " The First World War slowly ground to its costly conclusion; and the immensely more difficult task of making peace got painfully under way. The armi stice that some expected would permit a return to normalcy opened instead upon a period of turbulence that agitated fur ther a society already unsettled by preparations for battle and by debilitating conflict overseas."
After spending the first half of 1918- 19 on sabbatical from Columbia at the University of California, Dewey traveled to Japan and China, where he lectured, toured, and assessed in his essays the relationship between the two nations. From Peking he reported the student revolt known as the May Fourth Move ment. The forty items in this volume also include an analysis of Thomas Hobbe's philosophy; an affectionate commemorative tribute to Theodore Roosevelt, " our Teddy"; the syllabus for Dewey's lectures at the Imperial University in Tokyo, which were later revised and published as Reconstruction in Philosophy; an exchange with former disciple Randolph Bourne about F. Mat thias Alexander's Man' s Supreme Inheritance; and, central to Dew ey's creed, " Philosophy and Democracy." His involvement in a study of the Polish-American community in Philadelphia-- resulting in an article, two memoranda, and a lengthy report-- is discussed in detail in the Introduction and in the Note on the " Confidential Report of Conditions among the Poles in the United States."

v. 12. 1920 ISBN 9780809310043
内容説明
A collection of all of Dewey's writingsfor 1920with the excep tion of Letters from China and Japan. A Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions textual edition.
The nineteen items collected here, including his major work, Reconstruction in Philosophy, evolved in the main from Dewey's travel, touring, lecturing, and teaching in Japan and China. Ralph Ross notes in his Introduction to this volume that Recon struction in Philosophy is"a radical book . . . a pugnacious book by a gentle man." It is in this book that Dewey summarizes his version of pragmatism, then called Instrumentalism. For Dew ey, the pragmatist, it was people acting on the strength of in telligence modeled on science who could find true ideas, ones "we can assimilate, validate, corroborate, and verify." Optimism pervades Reconstruction of Philosophy;in keeping with Dewey's world of open possibilities, the book recognizes that the obser vation and thought of human striving can make the difference between despair and affirmation of life.
The seven essays on Chinese politics and social tradition that Dewey sent back from the Orient exhibit both the liveliness and the sensitive power of an insightful mind. Set against a backdrop of Japanese hegemony in China, the last days of Manchu imperi alism, Europe's carving of China into concessions, and China's subsequent refusal to accept the terms of the Treaty of Ver sailles, the essays were startlingly relevant in this time of Eastern turbulence and change.
At the National University of Peking, Dewey delivered a se ries of lectures on "Three Contemporary Philosophers: William James, Henri Bergson, and Bertrand Russell." The James and Bergson lectures are published for the first time in this volume. Dewey chose these philosophers, according to Ralph Ross, be cause he was trying to show "his oriental audience what he believed and hoped about man and society and was talking about those fellow philosophers who shared the same beliefs and hopes."

Volume 13 in The Middle Works of John Dewey, 1899-1924, series brings together Dewey's writings for 1921and 1922, with the exception of Human Nature and Conduct. A Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions textual edition.
Ralph Ross notes in his Introduction that the 53items constituting this volume "defend Dewey's beliefs at 63 and look forward to what he was yet to write." The essays to which Dewey responded, as well as abstracts of articles that have been published only in Japanese, appear as appendixes.
The article "Valuation and Experimental Knowledge" treats a favorite Dewey theme: "Most of the important crises of life are cases where tastes are the only things worth dis cussing, and where, if the life of reason is to exist and prevail, judgment must be per formed with regard for its logical implica tions." The philosophical articles stress Dewey's view that, as Ross remarks, "philosophies are not timeless and universal, but speak to times, places and conditions."

内容説明
Volume 14of The Middle Works of John Dewey, 1899-1924, series provides an authoritative edition of Dewey's Human Nature and Conduct. A Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions textual edition.
Human Nature and Conduct evolved from the West Memorial Foundation lectures at Stanford University. The lectures were ex tensively rewritten and expanded into one of Dewey's best-known works. As Murray G. Murphey says in his Introduction, "It was a work in which Dewey sought to make ex plicit the social character of his psychology and philosophy--something which had long been evident but never so clearly spelled out."
Subtitled "An Introduction to Social Psy chology," Human Nature and Conduct sets forth Dewey's view that habits are social functions, and that social phenomena, such as habit and custom and scientific methods of inquiry are moral and natural. Dewey con cludes, "Within the flickering inconsequen tial acts of separate selves dwells a sense of the whole which claims and dignifies them. In its presence we put off mortality and live in the universal."

Volume 15 in The Middle Works of John Dewey, 1899-1924, series brings together Dewey's writings for the period 1923-1924. A Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions textual edition. Volume 15 completes the republication of Dewey's extensive writings for the 25-year period included in the Middle Works series. Many facets of Dewey's interests--politics, philosophy, education, and social con-cerns--are illuminated by the 40 items from 1923 and 1924. Inspired by his own convictions and those of his friend Salmon O. Levinson, founder of the American Committee for the Outlawry of War, Dewey's articles became the keystone of the committee's campaign to outlaw war. His essay, Logical Method and Law, is perhaps the most enduring of Dewey's writings in this volume. Dewey's philosophical discussions with Daniel Som-mer Robinson, David Wight Prall, Arthur Oncken Lovejoy, and Sterling Power Lamprecht are represented here, as is Dewey's assessment of the Turkish educa-tional system.
