More about the book
The exploration of the relationship between thought and action reveals a complex tension in human understanding. Dewey examines how historical beliefs in the efficacy of thought have diminished as people gained more control over nature and their circumstances. He critiques the notion that intelligence is merely a byproduct of evolution, arguing that this perspective limits the potential for innovative thinking. Instead, he highlights a longing for a world shaped by human thought, suggesting that despite advancements, the question of thought's influence on action remains deeply contested.
