    William James, remarking in 1909 on the differences among the three leading spokesmen for pragmatismhimself, F. C. S. Schiller, and John Deweysaid that Schiller’s views were essential­ly psychological,” his own, epistemo­logical,” 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 philo­sophical questions: the nature of knowl­edge and the meaning of truth. Dewey’s distinctive analysis is concentrated chiefly in seven essays, in a long, sig­nificant, and previously almost un­known work entitled The Problem of Truth,” and in his book How We Think. As a whole, the 191011 writings il­lustrate 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 treat­ment in earlier writings.”
