Description
Experience and Value: Essays on John Dewey and Pragmatic Naturalism brings together twelve essays spanning the career of noted Dewey scholar, S. Morris Eames. The volume includes both critiques and interpretations of important issues in John Dewey's value theory as well as the application of Eames's pragmatic naturalism in addressing contemporary problems in social theory, education, and religion. The collection begins with a discussion of the underlying principles of Dewey's pragmatic naturalism, including the concepts of nature, experience, and philosophic method. From this framework, Eames also considers possible resolutions of the current dichotomy between the factual worldview of science and the humanistic worldview of the liberal arts. The volume concludes with a discussion of the very topic that first brought Eames to philosophy - the meaning of religion and the religious life.
