Book Description
Excerpt from Essays, Philosophical and Psychological, in Honor of William James, Professor in Harvard University, by His Colleagues at Columbia University I beg that it may be understood that no question-begging is intended in my title. A philosophical doctrine is not necessarily worthy of acceptance because it is new. It is foolish to argue that, because a philosophy happens to be the current one, it is deserving of respect; just as it is foolish to argue that, because certain beliefs are discovered to have an affinity with the beliefs current in some by-gone age, therefore they must be antiquated and worthy of rejection. There is no philosophy accepted in our time which has not its roots in the past, and we may always obtain a cheap triumph over its adherents by taunting them with the date at which their ancestors thought that they saw the light. But this is a cheap triumph, indeed, and one which we may all enjoy in our turn. Only he whose reading and reflection have been limited will look upon it as worth enjoying.

Book Description
Volume 11 brings together all of Dewey's writings for 1918 and 1919. A Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions textual edition. Dewey's dominant theme in these pages is war and its after-math. In the Introduction, Oscar and Lilian Handlin discuss his philosophy within the historical context: The First World War slowly ground to its costly conclusion; and the immensely more difficult task of making peace got painfully under way. The armi-stice that some expected would permit a return to normalcy opened instead upon a period of turbulence that agitated fur-ther a society already unsettled by preparations for battle and by debilitating conflict overseas. After spending the first half of 1918-19 on sabbatical from Columbia at the University of California, Dewey traveled to Japan and China, where he lectured, toured, and assessed in his essays the relationship between the two nations. From Peking he reported the student revolt known as the May Fourth Move-ment. The forty items in this volume also include an analysis of Thomas Hobbe's philosophy; an affectionate commemorative tribute to Theodore Roosevelt, our Teddy; the syllabus for Dewey's lectures at the Imperial University in Tokyo, which were later revised and published as Reconstruction in Philosophy; an exchange with former disciple Randolph Bourne about F. Mat-thias Alexander's Man's Supreme Inheritance; and, central to Dew-ey's creed, Philosophy and Democracy. His involvement in a study of the Polish-American community in Philadelphia--resulting in an article, two memoranda, and a lengthy report--is discussed in detail in the Introduction and in the Note on the Confidential Report ofConditions among the Poles in the United States.
