摘要：In the last fifteen years, John Dewey’s early philosophy received considerableattention. John Shook’s Dewey’s Empirical Theory of Knowledge and Reality, JimGood’s The Search for “Unity in Diversity”: the “Permanent Deposit” of Hegelin John Dewey’s Philosophy, Donald Morse’s Faith in Life: John Dewey’s EarlyPhilosophy, on the top of many articles, critical editions, and reviews: all these textshave contributed to a better understanding of many important aspects of Dewey’searly thought. The aspects with which those pieces of scholarship are concernedreflect, quite naturally, the trends of interest in contemporary pragmatist debates. It isnot strange, therefore, that relatively little attention has been paid to Dewey’s logicaltheory. James Scott Johnston’s new book, significantly entitled John Dewey’s EarlierLogical Theory, aims to fill this gap in Dewey scholarship: its goal is that of outliningthe process of development of Dewey’s theory of logic, from his first articles to hislast great book, the Logic: Theory of Inquiry.
