Description
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 aftermath. 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 armistice that some expected would permit a return to normalcy opened instead upon a period of turbulence that agitated further a society already unsettled by preparations for battle and by debilitating conflict overseas. After spending the first half of 191819 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 Movement. 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. Matthias Alexander s "Man s" "Supreme Inheritance";" "and, central to Dewey s creed, Philosophy and Democracy. His involvement in a study of the Polish-American community in Philadelphiaresulting in an article, two memoranda, and a lengthy reportis discussed in detail in the Introduction and in the Note on the Confidential Report of Conditions among the Poles in the United States.
