Dewey's Logical Theory by F Thomas Burke

Dewey's Logical Theory by F Thomas Burke

The essays in this collection, all written by Dewey scholars, pay tribute to Dewey's logical theories, ranging from his work at the beginning of the 20th century to the culmination of his logical thought in the 1938 volume, Logic: The Theory of Inquiry.

The material presented in this volume reflects a kind of sea-change in Dewey studiesIt is not so much that these essays are uniformly positive or uncritical, for they are certainly not that. Their importance lies rather in the fact that serious scholarship on Dewey's logic, building on the solid advances won over the years by Thayer, Kennedy, Sleeper, Burke, and others, seems finally to have reached a critical mass. Perhaps even more important, when taken together these essays establish an important way-marker along a road that Dewey hoped his students would follow. They seek to push Dewey's ideas forward: to work out the consequences of his logic-his theory of inquiry-for a living philosophy.-Larry A. Hickman, from the Foreword
