John Dewey was the foremost philosophical figure and public intellectual in early to mid-twentieth century America. He is still the most academically cited Anglophone philosopher of the past century, and is among the most cited Americans of any century. In this comprehensive volume spanning thirty-five chapters, leading scholars help researchers access particular aspects of Dewey's thought, navigate the enormous and rapidly developing literature, and participate in current scholarship in light of prospects in key topical areas. Beginning with a framing essay by Philip Kitcher calling for a transformation of philosophical research inspired by Dewey, contributors interpret, appraise, and critique Dewey's philosophy under the following headings: Metaphysics; Epistemology, Science, Language, and Mind; Ethics, Law, and the Starting Point; Social and Political Philosophy, Race, and Feminist Philosophy; Philosophy of Education; Aesthetics; Instrumental Logic, Philosophy of Technology, and the Unfinished Project of Modernity; Dewey in Cross-Cultural Dialogue; The American Philosophical Tradition, the Social Sciences, and Religion; and Public Philosophy and Practical Ethics.

Steven Fesmire is Professor of Philosophy and Chair of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Radford University. He is President (2022-2024) of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy and the author of Dewey (2015) in the Routledge Philosophers series, awarded a 2015 Choice "Outstanding Academic Title." He is also the author of John Dewey and Moral Imagination: Pragmatism in Ethics (2003), awarded a 2005 Choice "Outstanding Academic Title." He is currently completing a book titled Pragmatic Pluralism: Beyond Moral Fundamentalism, with another book titled Ecological Imagination waiting in the wings. He was a 2009 Fulbright Scholar at Kyoto University and Kobe University in Japan, 2017-18 Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Middlebury College, and a 2016 Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh. His public philosophy work has appeared in places such as Salon, Huffington Post, USA Today, Inside Higher Ed, The Conversation, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Humanist, The Key Reporter, Education Week, Vermont Sunday Magazine, and Vermont Public Radio.
