Abstract
IN this brilliant and inspiring book, Prof. Dewey attempts to apply in philosophy the thought which is effective in dealing with any genuine question, from the elaborate problems of science to the practical deliberations of daily life. In his opinion, the break between the two realms is the cause of our modern intellectual perplexities and confusions. He is then led to attack the momentous problem of bridging the gap between the intellectual and moral heritage of civilisation, and the material presented to the speculative mind by science, industry, or even politics, by means of what he calls “the method of empirical naturalism”.
