In these troubled times, Eric Weber has compiled a magnificent set of essays by John Dewey, the preeminent American public philosopher of the 20th century. With the help of Weber's commentaries, all Americans will be able to see how Dewey still speaks to us today, with wisdom and urgency., In these troubled times, Eric Thomas Weber has compiled a magnificent set of essays by John Dewey, the preeminent American public philosopher of the twentieth century. With the help of Weber's commentaries, all Americans will be able to see how Dewey still speaks to us today, with wisdom and urgency., This is an outstanding collection, unique and most timely, that should receive attention from the sphere of public policy and politics. Weber has chosen writings that speak to America and the world today., John Dewey is the American philosopher of democracy. He understood that democracy, making choices together, is an end in itself, and that attempts to short-circuit democratic processes in the name of something else, whether it's ethnic nationalism or globalization, diminish us as human beings. His wisdom never goes out of style. There is no better (or worse) time to read him again., In this collection Eric Weber presents expertly curated essays by one of America's great public intellectuals. John Dewey's insights into the core issues of American life, then as now, are as fresh today as when they were first published. They provide ample evidence of his continuing relevance for our exceptional time., An illuminating, succinct introduction that amplifies Dewey's interest in society as well as his hopeful idealism and belief in the divine. . . . Highly recommended.

Synopsis
John Dewey was America's greatest public philosopher. This book gathers the clearest and most powerful of Dewey's public writings and shows how they continue to speak to the challenges we face today., John Dewey was America's greatest public philosopher. A prolific and influential writer for both scholarly and general audiences, he stands out for the remarkable breadth of his contributions. Dewey was a founder of a distinctly American philosophical tradition, pragmatism, and he spoke out widely on the most important questions of his day. He was a progressive thinker whose deep commitment to democracy led him to courageous stances on issues such as war, civil liberties, and racial, class, and gender inequalities. This book gathers the clearest and most powerful of Dewey's public writings and shows how they continue to speak to the challenges we face today. An introductory essay and short introductions to each of the texts discuss the current relevance and significance of Dewey's work and legacy. The book includes forty-six essays on topics such as democracy in the United States, political power, education, economic justice, science and society, and philosophy and culture. These essays inspire optimism for the possibility of a more humane public and political culture, in which citizens share in the pursuit of lifelong education through participation in democratic life. America's Public Philosopher reveals John Dewey as a powerful example for scholars seeking to address a wider audience and a much-needed voice for all readers in search of intellectual and moral leadership.

The game itself was placed within a sealed bag, accompanied by a lovely "Thank you" card, and the entire outside of the bag was taped securely with cardboard to ensure nothing could damage/crush the game. Then around that was a shipping bag. The game is exactly as described and pictured, the price was extremely reasonable, and the shipping was fast. Buy with confidence, this is a great seller.Elder Scrolls III 3 Morrowind Game of the Year Edition PC (N° 235815848530)
