Middle Works of John Dewey, 1899 - 1924 Vol. 4 : 1907-1909: Essays on Pragmatism and Truth

By 1907, the first of the three years emshy;braced by Volume 4, Dewey had abanshy;doned thoughts of a possible career in the administration of higher education and was firmly established as a leading member of the Department of Phishy;losophy at Columbia. As Lewis Hahn points out in his Introduction, these were "very productive years for Dewey. In addition to numerous lectures and speaking engagements and participashy;tion in professional meetings, he pubshy;lished fifteen or so substantial articles, almost as many shorter things, a sylshy;labus onThe Pragmatic Movement of Contemporary Thought,a monograph onMoral Principles in Education,and, with J. H. Tufts, the first edition of a very popular textbook,Ethics."
