RECONSTRUCTION IN PHILOSOPHY

About the Book:- The book is an attempt to interpret and to make articulate the deeper and only half conscious strivings and impulses which have made our present western civilization differ from the civilization of antiquity and of the middle ages. The aim which is expressed in the prefactory note, “to exhibit the general contrasts between older and newer types of philosophic problems rather than to make partisan plea in behalf of any one specific solution of these problems”, is abundantly achieved and with a lucidity and directness which philosophical writings including Dewey’s earlier writing-seldom exhibit. Of Philosophic argument, in the familiar sence, there is very little. The whole book is merely an analysis of the varying and discrepant ways in which the modern individual has gotten or has failed to get what he really wants in the several regions of his life. In science and in political democracy, in the control of neture and the mastery of technique, much very much has been accomplished. About the Author:- John Dewey (1859 –1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform. He was one of the most prominent American scholars in the first half of the twentieth century. The overriding theme of Dewey's works was his profound belief in democracy, be it in politics, education, or communication and journalism. As Dewey himself stated in 1888, while still at the University of Michigan, "Democracy and the one, ultimate, ethical ideal of humanity are to my mind synonymous." Dewey considered two fundamental elements—schools and civil society—to be major topics needing attention and reconstruction to encourage experimental intelligence and plurality. Dewey was one of the primary figures associated with the philosophy of pragmatism and is considered one of the fathers of functional psychology. His paper "The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology," published in 1896, is regarded as the first major work in the (Chicago) functionalist school of psychology. A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked Dewey as the 93rd-most-cited psychologist of the 20th century.
