Synopsis

The main thesis of this book is that John Dewey's conception of philosophy began and culminated with his concern about the problem of truth. Moreover, it is asserted that Dewey's mature conception of philosophy and his notion of truth may be quite profitable for resolving some of our more recent contemporary philosophical problems. To clarify his mature thoughts about philosophy and truth, this study surveys the stages of Dewey's development during his long lifetime of ninety-three years.
