20John Dewey and Continental Philosophy (edited book)Southern Illinois University Press. 2010._John Dewey and Continental Philosophy_ provides a rich sampling of exchanges that could have taken place long ago between the traditions of American pragmatism and continental philosophy had the lines of communication been more open between Dewey and his European contemporaries.

55Towards a new philosophy of education: Extending the conversational metaphor for thinkingStudies in Philosophy and Education 10 (4): 297-314. 1991.Recently, feminists like Jane Roland-Martin, Elizabeth Young-Bruehl, and others have advocated a conversational metaphor for thinking and rationality, and our image of the rational person.

There are numerous disadvantages to thinking about thinking as a conversation.We think there are difficulties in accepting the current formulation of …Read more

Third, what are the past and present obstacles that has kept the Hispanic world from using pragmatism to deal with many of their educational and social problems? Finally, why …Read more

24Walt Whitman, John Dewey, and Primordial Artistic CommunicationTransactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society 47 (3): 301-318. 2011.In the end, works of art are the only media of complete and unhindered communication between man and man that can occur in a world full of gulfs and walls that limit community of experience. Occasionally, thoughtful people familiar with both Walt Whitman and philosophical pragmatism will remark on their affinity.1 Some have even argued, correctly, that Whitman influenced American pragmatism, especially the writings of William James and to a lesser extent John Dewey.2 For instance, Raphael C. All…Read more

25The “permanent deposit” of Hegelian thought in dewey’s theory of inquiryEducational Theory 56 (1): 1-37. 2006.In this essay, Jim Garrison explores the emerging scholarship establishing a Hegelian continuity in John Dewey’s thought from his earliest publications to the work published in the last decade of his life.

34Summing up our differences: A reply to SiegelJournal of Philosophy of Education 36 (2). 2002.This is a brief rejoinder to Harvey Siegel’s ‘Dangerous Dualisms or Murky Monism? A Reply to Jim Garrison’ (35·4), which was itself a critical response to my own recent paper in this journal (33·2). This is an attempt to sum up the key points of the Deweyan pragmatism that I argue for, and hence those that Siegel opposes. It is not an attempt to settle the debate, but rather to clarify our differences.
