Types of Thinking Including a Survey of Greek Philosophy

About this book

A lost series of lectures on the history of philosophy, first delivered in China, now available in English for the first time.

This volume reconstructs a series of lectures delivered by John Dewey during his historic trip to China. Though Dewey's original notes were lost, Prof. Robert W. Clopton and Dr. Tsuin-Chen Ou were able to translate his works as they appeared in Chinese newspapers.

Beyond their historical significance, these lectures show Dewey at the height of his power, discussing and criticizing various schools of philosophy. This includes a brief but comprehensive account of Greek philosophy from the pre-Socratics through Aristotle. Dewey also discusses his own experimental thinking, presenting his position in systematic form for the first time.

"The most complete presentation of Dewey's theory of the development of philosophy, in prose simpler and clearer than he himself ever provided . . . Types of Thinking deserves a place in every subject collection." — Library Journal
