Description
Summary:The article presents a response by the author to the comments on his book "A Search for Unity in Diversity: The Permanent Hegelian Deposit in the Philosophy of John Dewey." The author notes on philosopher John Dewey's debt to author G. W. F. Hegel arguing that the former furthered the development of Hegelian philosophy along humanistic and historicist lines. He examines Dewey's World War I criticisms of Hegel through his book "German Philosophy and Politics" which touched on idealism broadly and focus on characterizing pragmatism. Moreover, he argues against the notion that he understated the influence of philosopher William James' "Principles of Psychology" on Dewey.
