DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Typescripts, essays, and an authoritative edition of Knowing and the Known, Dewey's collaborative work with Arthur F. Bentley. In an illuminating Introduction T. Z. Lavine defines the collaboration's three goals--the "construction of a new language for behavioral inquiry," "a critique of formal logicians, in defense of Dewey's Logic, " and "a critique of logical positivism." In Dewey's words: "Largely due to Bentley, I've finally got the nerve inside of me to do what I should have done years ago." "What Is It to Be a Linguistic Sign or Name?" and "Values, Valuations, and Social Facts, ' both written in 1945, are published here for the first time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Co-winner of the 2005 Biennial Book Prize for the best philosophy book published in English presented by the Canadian Philosophical Association John Russon's Human Experience draws on central concepts of contemporary European philosophy to develop a novel analysis of the human psyche. Beginning with a study of the nature of perception, embodiment, and memory, Russon investigates the formation of personality through family and social experience. He focuses on the importance of the feedback we receive from others regarding our fundamental worth as persons, and on the way this interpersonal process embeds meaning into our most basic bodily practices: eating, sleeping, sex, and so on. Russon concludes with an original interpretation of neurosis as the habits of bodily practice developed in family interactions that have become the foundation for developed interpersonal life, and proposes a theory of psychological therapy as the development of philosophical insight that responds to these neurotic compulsions.
