Light creasing to spine. Pages unmarked. vi, 309 pages ; 20 cm. <br> "One of the most controversial and influential philosophers of our age, John Dewey, whose theories of knowledge and learning revolutionized educational practice in the United States early in this century, eloquently summarized in these essays his support of the new philosophy of pragmatism, or instrumentalism, whose orientation he found in Darwin's Origin of Species." <br> "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University
