The Later Works, 1925-1953: 1925

The meticulously edited text published here as the first vol­ume in the series The Later Works of John Dewey, 1925-1953spans that entire period in Dewey's thought by including two important and previously unpublished documents from the book's history: Dewey's unfinished new introduction written between 1947and 1949, edited by the late Joseph Ratner, and Dewey's unedited final draft of that introduction written the year before his death.
