William James, remarking in 1909 on the differences among the three leading spokesmen for pragmatism himself, F. C. S. Schiller, and John Dewey said that Schiller s views were essentially psychological, his own, epistemological, whereas Dewey s panorama is the widest of the three.
The two main subjects of Dewey s essays at this time are also two of the most fundamental and persistent philosophical questions: the nature of knowledge and the meaning of truth. Dewey s distinctive analysis is concentrated chiefly in seven essays, in a long, significant, and previously almost unknown work entitled The Problem of Truth, and in his book "How We Think. "As a whole, the 1910 11 writings illustrate especially well that which the Thayers identify in their Introduction as Dewey s deepening concentration on questions of logic and epistemology as contrasted with the more pronounced psychological and pedagogical treatment in earlier writings.
