J**.

One of the best philosophical socialist books

You wouldn't think it, but this little baby packs a huge radical punch. Written in 1929 after the Depression set in it's Dewey's testament on what he thought society would have to do to solve that kind of systemic problem and survive. What comes out from Dewey's experiential philosophy is a radical critique of individualism that fit's into the category today of "Council Communism" or "Autonomous Marxism", meaning socialism which is concieved according to Marxist type theory but is realized according to radically democratic and workerist means. A forgotten gem, read this and then absorb the liberatory potential of the rest of Dewey's many philosophical works.

Individualism Old and New

Dewey's analysis is timeless. This could almost have been written yesterday. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in American politics.

Great book from yesteryear that is so TODAY

John Dewey explains how the philosophy of rugged individualism derived from the frontier era is out of place in industrialized, corporatized America.

G**N

The "Individual" is not a Metaphysical Atom

A tightly argued work, this is one of Dewey's best, pointing out the hypocrisies of both classical liberalism and contemporary libertarianism, with their fatuous concepts of the "individual."

Lacks Wisdom

John Dewey is held up as a great thinker but you can clearly see that his ideas lack even trace amounts of wisdom. He's book-smart and that simply shows promise and little else.
