nA modern classic. Deweys lectures have lost none of their vigor ... The historical approach, which underlay the central argument, is beautifully exemplified in his treatments of the origin of philosophy. -- Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. nIt was with this book that Dewey fully launched his campaign for experimental philosophy. -- The New Republic. nWritten shortly after the shattering effects of World War I, John Deweys Reconstruction in Philosophy offers an insightful introduction to the concept of pragmatic humanism. The eminent philosopher presents persuasive arguments against traditional philosophical constructs, suggesting their basis in self-justification; instead, he proposes an examination of core values in terms of their ultimate effects on the self and others. Deweys experimental philosophy represented a significant departure from its predecessor, utilitarianism, and it was received with both outrage and acclaim for daring to mingle ethics and science. nDelivered in 1919 as a series of lectures at Tokyos Imperial University of Japan, Deweys landmark work appears here in an enlarged edition that features an informative introduction by the author, written more than 25 years after the books initial publication.
