Editorial Reviews
Review
"An invaluable asset for an understanding of the intellectual underpinnings of feminist thought and for a deeper appreciation of Dewey." -- Front Page: The Seminary Co-op Bookstore, Spring 2002 --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Product Description
This is the first collection of essays to evaluate John Dewey’s pragmatist philosophy from a feminist perspective. The variety of feminist interpretations offered here ranges from Jane Addams’s praise for his collegial efforts to resolve the problems of the inner city to contemporary comparisons of his approach with Addams’s own critique of capitalism as patriarchal. In between are essays assessing Dewey’s contributions to feminist theory and practice both in his lifetime and in regard to contemporary feminist approaches to education, subjectivity, objectivity and truth, and social and political philosophy.

Product Description
This is the first collection of essays to evaluate John Dewey’s pragmatist philosophy from a feminist perspective. The variety of feminist interpretations offered here ranges from Jane Addams’s praise for his collegial efforts to resolve the problems of the inner city to contemporary comparisons of his approach with Addams’s own critique of capitalism as patriarchal. In between are essays assessing Dewey’s contributions to feminist theory and practice both in his lifetime and in regard to contemporary feminist approaches to education, subjectivity, objectivity and truth, and social and political philosophy.
At a time when feminists are questioning and developing alternatives to the scientistic value-free inquiry advocated by logical positivism, the myth of detached observation informing the epistemological turn, rationalistic ethics, and the model of an unattached, nonrelational subject, this book reminds us of Dewey’s early and passionate opposition to the same assumptions and his reconstruction of philosophy as a "method of moral and political diagnoses and prognosis." It has often been remarked that Dewey’s pragmatism provides a genuine alternative to the usual masculinist biases of Western philosophy, and the various essays in this book develop this claim more extensively.
Contributors, besides the editor, are Jane Addams, Ana M. Martínez Alemán, Paula Droege, Marilyn Fischer, Eugenie Gatens-Robinson, Judith Green, Lisa Heldke, Ellen Condliffe Lagemann, Erin McKenna, Marjorie Miller, Elizabeth Karmarck Minnich, and Shannon Sullivan.
