John Dewey's Metaphysical Theory
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-41564-7 (ISBN)
John Dewey's Metaphysical Theory provides an overview and technical exposition of Dewey's mature ontological theory. In particular, "nature," "experience," and their relationship, are given extended treatment through a close reading of primary texts. Following Dewey's metaphysical postulates and conclusions, the book suggests how experience may reveal the fundamental traits of nature. In addition, the book reveals how Dewey understood the ways in which all phenomena may relate within an inclusive economy of existence, what it means to have an "identity," what constitutes "selfhood" or personality, and how metaphysics relates to the ideals of democracy and social ethics.
Paul Benjamin Cherlin teaches philosophy at Minneapolis College, and primarily publishes on metaphysics as it relates to American Pragmatism and the work of John Dewey. Dr. Cherlin holds degrees from the University of Minnesota (BA), Brandeis University (MA), and Southern Illinois University (PhD). He is currently Editor-in-Chief of Dewey Studies.
