Book Reviews of Understanding John Dewey: Nature and Cooperative Intelligence (International Studies in Philosophy)
Book Review: This is a great introduction to an important thinker.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great introduction to an important and often underrated thinker. This introduction is clear and well written so that it can serve as a great introduction to a layperson and not just a philosophy student.
Unfortunately Dewey is one of those figures whose work seems to be better known through reputation and hearsay rather than first hand knowledge. This book is a great way to acquire a real understanding of his thinking because the book extensively quotes Dewey directly while providing useful context.
Dewey has a very practical approach to philosophy and his work is uniquely applicable to daily life so I would recommend this book to anyone. The following is a quote from Dewey that illustrates this point nicely:
"Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method, cultivated by philosophers, for dealing with the problems of men."
I'm note sure what the previous reviewer is talking about but his comments have nothing to do with this book and it is obvious he has not read the book.
