More about the book
John Dewey critiques traditional morality for presuming a deficiency in human nature, arguing that it relies on restrictive rules and punishment to compel behavior contrary to our instincts. He believes this approach is fundamentally flawed and destined for failure, suggesting a need for a more pragmatic understanding of human behavior that aligns with our inherent nature rather than attempting to suppress it.
