Typescripts, essays, and an authoritative edition of Knowing and the Known, Dewey's collaborative work with Arthur F. Bentley.


In an illuminating Introduction T. Z. Lavine defines the collaboration's three goals-- the construction of a new language for behavioral inquiry, a critique of formal logicians, in defense of Dewey's Logic, and a critique of logical positivism. In Dewey's words: Largely due to Bentley, I've finally got the nerve inside of me to do what I should have done years ago.


What Is It to Be a Linguistic Sign or Name? and Values, Valuations, and Social Facts, ' both written in 1945, are published here for the first time.
