Summary

In "Essays in Experimental Logic," John Dewey delves into the intricate relationship between logic and experience, presenting a compelling argument for an approach to logic grounded in real-world situations. Dewey's writing is characterized by clarity and precision, seamlessly blending philosophical inquiry with practical implications. He critiques traditional logical frameworks, emphasizing the dynamic and contingent nature of thought processes, which, he posits, must evolve in response to the complexities of lived experience. The essays in this collection challenge readers to reevaluate the purpose of logic and its application in experimental contexts, bridging the gap between philosophy and the sciences. John Dewey, a prominent American philosopher and educator, was a leading figure in pragmatism and instrumentalism, deeply influenced by his experiences in progressive education and social reform. His commitment to democracy and inquiry is mirrored in this work, as he advocates for a logic that is adaptable and responsive to the changing needs of society. Given his extensive background in both philosophy and educational practice, Dewey offers a unique perspective that highlights the importance of experiential learning in the development of logical reasoning. "Essays in Experimental Logic" is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, education, or the evolution of modern thought. Dewey's insights invite readers to consider how logic operates within the framework of human experience, making it a vital resource for scholars and students alike. This work not only enriches our understanding of logic but also challenges us to embrace a more dynamic and engaged approach to thinking.

    Self-motivation is your ability, inner strength and willpower to push yourself towards the achievement of your goals and purpose. However, as no man is an island and no man is a product of himself alone, there are many factors also that cause most people to lose their inner drive. Necessity has been the driving cause for most, but this shouldn’t be the case at all times. The ability to drive oneself towards taking initiative, the relevant actions to pursue goals, and complete tasks is crucial. It’s an inner drive to take action to create and achieve. It’s what pushes you to keep going on tasks, especially those you’re pursuing because you want to, not because someone told you to.

    A COSMIC CONUNDRUM—This astonishing book follows our ascendancy from just another hominin on the open African savannah to the alpha hegemon on Earth today endangering its entire future. Along the way, humans methodically outwitted their competition with phenomenal efficiency and indifference, to emerge in the modern 21st century as the linchpin of a major mass extinction of countless other lifeforms cohabiting their planet with them. The shredding of our fragile ecosphere by massive proliferation and monopolistic overconsumption of Earth’s precious resources by a single invasive species, along with the inexorable combustion of deadly fossil fuels to acquire the energy needed to sustain their profligate and lavish lifestyle, is threatening to drive H. sapiens itself into extinction within the next 300 years. This is the true story of that improbable adventure!...The Publishers
