62Pragmatism, Postmodernism, and Global CitizenshipMetaphilosophy 35 (1‐2): 65-81. 2004.: The founders of American pragmatism proposed what they regarded as a radical alternative to the philosophical methods and doctrines of their predecessors and contemporaries. Although their central ideas have been understood and applied in some quarters, there remain other areas within which they have been neither appreciated nor appropriated. One of the more pressing of these areas locates a set of problems of knowledge and valuation related to global citizenship. This essay attempts to demons…Read more

3Why American Philosophy? Why Now?European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy 1 (1): 41-43. 2009.This title presents not two, but three questions. The third question, the one that lies behind and is obscured by the two more obvious ones, concerns the nature of American philosophy. What qualifies as “American” philosophy? Is it, as some have suggested, philosophy as it is practiced in any of the Americas – North, Central, or South? Or is it perhaps philosophy as it is pursued by practitioners living in North America, or even in a more restricted sense, by practitioners living in the Unite...

42Pragmatism, constructivism, and the philosophy of technologyIn Larry A. Hickman, Stefan Neubert & Kersten Reich (eds.), John Dewey between pragmatism and constructivism, Fordham University Press. 2009.This chapter discusses some main traits of classical Pragmatism and their potential as critical tools for contemporary discussions about Pragmatism and constructivism. It first examines some of the claims advanced in Stefan Neubert's essay “Pragmatism and Constructivism in Contemporary Philosophical Discourse”. It then explores the vitality of Pragmatist thought and the usefulness of its basic tenets as resources for philosophic criticism. The chapter looks into the problems of “cognitive relati…Read more

31What Was Dewey’s “Magic Number?”The Proceedings of the Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy 8 221-231. 2000.Abraham Kaplan once suggested that Dewey’s “magic number” was two. His observation seems to be supported by the titles Dewey gave to his books, such as Experience and Nature. But in making this observation, Kaplan hedged a bit. Perhaps it would be better, he added, to say that Dewey had two magic numbers: he seemed to look for twos in order to turn them into ones. Looking back over the notes I have pencilled in the margins of Dewey’s Collected Works over the years, I am struck with the number of…Read more

28John Dewey's Naturalism as a Model for Global EthicsSynthesis Philosophica 25 (1): 9-18. 2010.This essay considers the lessons about global ethics that John Dewey learned during his international travels, especially during the two years he spent in China, 1919–1921. I argue that Dewey’s naturalism, which is based on an appreciation of the ways in which the work of Charles Darwin can be applied within humanistic disciplines, provides models for cross-cultural discussions of ethics. I suggest that some of the impediments to appreciating Dewey’s contribution to global ethics lie in misreadi…Read more

66Educational Occupations and Classroom TechnologyEuropean Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy 8 (1). 2016.Despite the fact that John Dewey had a great deal to say about education and technology, many of his insights have yet to be understood or appropriated. A close reading of Democracy and Education offers support for the view that Dewey was prescient in proposing a pedagogy that was friendly to current initiatives in innovative classroom technology including inverted or “flipped” classroom projects in the United States and elsewhere and the Future Classroom Lab project of the European Schoolnet. I…Read more

31Dewey's Empirical Theory of Knowledge and Reality (review)Review of Metaphysics 54 (3): 684-685. 2001.This book presents detailed support for a thesis that is both novel and interesting. Its argument runs squarely against the grain of mainstream Dewey scholarship, which holds generally that Deweys early work exhibits a fairly sharp break with the idealism of his mentor G. S. Morris and that his functionalism and instrumentalism were developed as a response to the pragmatism of C. S. Peirce and William James and the evolutionary naturalism of Charles Darwin.

39Le naturalisme de John Dewey en tant que modele pour une éthique globaleSynthesis Philosophica 25 (1): 9-18. 2010.Cet essai examine les cours d’éthique globale dispensés par John Dewey a l’occasion de ses voyages a l’international, notamment durant les deux années qu’il a passées en Chine . Je soutiens que le naturalisme de Dewey, fondé sur la prise en compte des façons dont l’oeuvre de Charles Darwin peut s’appliquer dans les sciences humaines, offre des modeles pour une discussion éthique interculturelle. Je considere que certains obstacles a l’appréciation de l’apport de Dewey a l’éthique globale résiden…Read more
