Dewey's New Logic - A Reply to Russell

Although John Dewey is celebrated for his work in the philosophy of education and acknowledged as a leading proponent of American pragmatism, he might also have enjoyed more of a reputation for his philosophy of logic had Bertrand Russell not attacked him so fervently on the subject. In DEWEY'S NEW LOGIC, Tom Burke analyzes the debate between Russell and Dewey that followed the 1938 publication of Dewey's LOGIC: THE THEORY OF INQUIRY.

Summary
