Le lezioni tenute da John Dewey a Pechino nel 1919-1920, presentate qui per la prima volta in forma completa al pubblico italiano, costituiscono un documento prezioso per gettare luce su uno degli aspetti più intricati e intriganti, ma ancora meno discussi, dell’opera del filosofo americano, ovvero la sua filosofia sociale. Nelle lezioni in Cina, Dewey delinea un nuovo tipo di filosofia (“terza filosofia”), in grado non solo di capire le trasformazioni del presente, ma anche e soprattutto di farvi fronte e provare a orientarle. Per dimostrarsi all’altezza di tale compito, filosofe e filosofi devono allora abbandonare il cielo delle astrazioni concettuali e calarsi nella fitta trama dei conflitti sociali, imparare a decifrare le prospettive dei gruppi subalterni e oppressi, superare sia il desiderio di conservare lo status quo sia l’impulso di creare un ordine socio-politico completamente nuovo. Alla luce di queste considerazioni, anche la teoria politica deweyana, in particolare la sua visione della democrazia, ne risulta rinnovata e arricchita.

John Dewey delivered two sets of related lectures at the University of Chicago in the fall quarter 1895 and the spring quarter 1896. Designed for graduate students, the lectures show the birth of Dewey's instrumentalist theory of inquiry in its application to ethical and political thinking.From 1891 through 1903, Dewey attempted to develop a revolutionary experimentalist approach to ethical inquiry, designed to replace the more traditional ways of moral theorizing that relied on the fixed moral knowledge given in advance of the situations in which they were applied.

John Dewey was America's greatest public philosopher. A prolific and influential writer for both scholarly and general audiences, he stands out for the remarkable breadth of his contributions. Dewey was a founder of a distinctly American philosophical tradition, pragmatism, and he spoke out widely on the most important questions of his day. He was a progressive thinker whose deep commitment to democracy led him to courageous stances on issues such as war, civil liberties, and racial, class, and gender inequalities.This book gathers the clearest and most powerful of Dewey's public writings and shows how they continue to speak to the challenges we face today. An introductory essay and short introductions to each of the texts discuss the current relevance and significance of Dewey's work and legacy. The book includes forty-six essays on topics such as democracy in the United States, political power, education, economic justice, science and society, and philosophy and culture. These essays inspire optimism for the possibility of a more humane public and political culture, in which citizens share in the pursuit of lifelong education through participation in democratic life. America's Public Philosopher reveals John Dewey as a powerful example for scholars seeking to address a wider audience and a much-needed voice for all readers in search of intellectual and moral leadership.
