![]() | Dewey's Empirical Theory of Knowledge and Reality that Dewey's metaphysical empiricism remained more indebted to Kant and Hegel than is commonly supposed; Shook's exposition of the unity of Dewey's thought challenges a large scholarly industry devoted to suppressing or explaining away the consistency between Dewey's early thought and his later work. In every respect, Dewey's Empirical Theory of Knowledge and Reality is a provocative and engaging study that will occupy a unique niche in this field. It is certain to stimulate discussion and controversy, forcing Dewey traditionalists out of habitual modes of thought and transforming our conventional understanding of the development of classical American philosophy. John R. Shook teaches philosophy at Oklahoma State University. His previous publications include the recently issued volume Pragmatism: An Annotated Bibliography, 1898-1940 (1998). |
