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 discussing, and where, if the life of reason is to exist and prevail, judgment must be performed with regard for its logical implications.” The philosophical articles stress Dewey’s view that, as Ross remarks, “philosophies are not timeless and universal, but speak to times, places and conditions.”
Ralph Ross, formerly Hartley Burr Alexander Professor of Humanities, is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Scripps College and of the Graduate Faculty at Claremont College.Jo Ann Boydston, General Editor of the Middle Works, is Director of the Center for Dewey Studies at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.Barbara Levine, textual editor for this volume, is a member of the Dewey Center staff.
