Abstract
It was once famously said of John Dewey that no major issue for a whole generation was clarified until he had spoken. These words, uttered by the historian Henry Steele Commager, reflect both the breadth of Dewey’s intellect and the wide scope of his social activism. Dewey remained an active conference speaker and column-writer right up to his death in 1952, just 7 years short of his 100th birthday, and it is now estimated that as many as 4000 books, papers, and articles have been written about Dewey’s life, his work, and his philosophy.
