| Sumario: | I provide an analysis and reconstruction of Dewey's Lectures in China that supports making the text central to understanding Dewey's socio-political philosophy and the source of insights for any contemporary pragmatist's approach to socio-political problems. Dewey is in these Lectures, for the first time, making explicit his methodological and normative commitments that would guide the rest of his career as a socio-political philosopher. Moreover, one finds in them the key building blocks to Dewey's approach to the themes of injustice, conflict, the dynamics of power and domination-topics that are important to understand his later writings and that can sharpen the critical and political teeth of Pragmatism.
