He has recently published a book entitled Pragmatism, Objectivity, and Experience, and he has published a wide variety of article on classical and contemporary pragmatism. He is Permanent Researcher at is Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Boston. It will be of keen interest to scholars and students of American pragmatism, ethics and moral philosophy, and the history of 20th-century philosophy. This book features contributions by some of the most influential Dewey scholars from North America and Europe. Taken together, these chapters show that, far from being a mere survey of moral theories, the 1932 Ethics presents the theoretical highpoint in Dewey's thinking about moral philosophy. The chapters in this part situate the Ethics in the broader interpretive frameworks of Dewey's philosophy, American pragmatism, and 20th-century moral theory at large. The second part of the book interprets the Ethics and demonstrates its contemporary relevance and vitality. Each chapter is introduced, situated within a historical perspective, and then its main achievements are highlighted and discussed. The first features chapters that provide a running commentary on the chapters of the 1932 Ethics written by Dewey. The chapters in this volume are divided into two distinct parts. It does so by focusing on his greatest achievement in this field: the Ethics he jointly published with James Hayden Tufts in 1908 and then republished in a heavily revised version in 1932. This book provides a wide-ranging, systematic, and comprehensive approach to the moral philosophy of John Dewey, one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century.
