Synopsis

This volume provides an authoritative edition of Dewey's The Quest for Cer-tainty: A Study of the Relation Between Knowledge and Action. The book is made up of the Gifford Lectures deliv-ered April-May 1929 at the University of Edinburgh. Writing to Sidney Hook, Dewey described this work as -a criti-cism of philosophy as attempting to at-tain theoretical certainty.- In the Philo-sophical Review Max C. Otto later elaborated: -Mr. Dewey wanted, so far as lay in his power, to crumble into dust, once and for all, 'the chief fortress of the classic philosophical tradition.-
