Dewey in 90 Minutes (Philosophers in 90 Minutes Series)
Not many people have heard of the professor who planted the idea of pragmatic philosophy in Dewey's mind. Charles S. Peirce was a remarkable man who made original, often highly significant contributions to many fields, especially logic. His tutelage is most evident in what Dewey is known for: educational reform. Dewey abandoned the old unanswerable conundrums of classical philosophy, formulating the theory that what mattered was what worked for personal development, which was discovered through experimentation. This view still reigns in K-12.Gilbert TaylorCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
