The essays in this volume are divided into two distinct parts. The first features essays that provide a running commentary on the chapters of the 1932
written by Dewey. Each chapter is introduced, situated within a historical perspective, and then its main achievements are highlighted and discussed. The second part of the book interprets the
and demonstrates its contemporary relevance and vitality. The essays in this part situate the
in the broader interpretive frameworks of Dewey’s philosophy, American pragmatism, and 20
-century moral theory at large. Taken together, these essays show that, far from being a mere survey of moral theories, the 1932
presents the theoretical highpoint in Dewey’s thinking about moral philosophy.
This book features contributions by some of the most influential Dewey scholars from North America and Europe. It will be of keen interest to scholars and students of American pragmatism, ethics and moral philosophy, and the history of 20
-century philosophy.
