From the rear cover
Sidney Hook, one of America's leading social philosophers, was a dedicated student and friend of John Dewey, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. In this timeless volume, Hook discusses the leading philosophical ideas of his mentor to highlight Dewey's central themes, their implications, and the relevance of his vision to the problems of American culture. Hook begins with a brief sketch of John Dewey's life and illustrious career. He then outlines Dewey's thoughts on philosophy and culture; the nature of ideas; truth; logic and action; body, mind, and behavior; standards, ends, and means; the good society; education; art; human nature; and democracy.
