John Dewey The Middle Works, 1899-1924; 1910-1911

William James, remarking in 1909on the differences among the three leading spokesmen for pragmatismhimself, F. C. S. Schiller, and John Deweysaid that Schiller's views were essential­ly "psychological," his own, "epistemo­logical," whereas Dewey's "panorama is the widest of the three." The two main subjects of Dewey's essays at this time are also two of the most fundamental and persistent philo­sophical questions: the nature of knowl­edge and the meaning of truth. Dewey's distinctive analysis is concentrated chiefly in seven essays, in a long, sig­nificant, and previously almost un­known work entitled "The Problem of Truth," and in his bookHow We Think.As a whole, the 191011writings il­lustrate especially well that which the Thayers identify in their Introduction as Dewey's "deepening concentration on questions of logic and epistemology as contrasted with the more pronounced psychological and pedagogical treat­ment in earlier writings."Thayer, H.
