Summary

In "Studies in Logical Theory," John Dewey presents a comprehensive exploration of logic, emphasizing its practical implications in human experience and inquiry. This work is characterized by a blend of analytic rigor and philosophical reflection, challenging traditional notions of static truth and advocating for a more dynamic understanding of logic intertwined with experience. Dewey asserts that logical reasoning is not merely an abstract discipline but is fundamentally rooted in human activity, emphasizing the importance of context and adaptability in thought processes—an argument that situates his work within the pragmatist tradition emerging at the turn of the 20th century. John Dewey, a prominent figure in American philosophy and education, was instrumental in shaping the pragmatist school of thought. His experiences as an educator and philosopher led him to prioritize practical consequences in logical analysis, reflecting his belief that knowledge should be actionable and responsive to real-world situations. Dewey's educational background in psychology and his commitment to democratic ideals profoundly influenced his philosophical inquiries, ultimately culminating in this seminal work that bridges the divide between logic and experiential learning. "Studies in Logical Theory" is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of logic, psychology, and education. Dewey's insights encourage readers to reconsider the purpose of reasoning in a rapidly changing world, making this book not just a theoretical treatise but also a guide for practical decision-making. For educators, philosophers, and students alike, Dewey's work remains a crucial text that challenges us to think critically and apply logic thoughtfully within our lived experiences.

    The United States is the most powerful actor in the international system, but it is facing a set of challenges that might lead to its decline as this century unfolds. 
     
     
     
    In The Pursuit of Dominance, Christopher J. Fettweis examines the grand strategy of previous superpowers to see how they maintained, or failed to maintain, their status. Over the course of six cases, from Ancient Rome to the British Empire, he seeks guidance from the past for present US policymakers. Like the United States, the examples Fettweis uses were the world's strongest powers at particularly moments in time, and they were hoping to stay that way. Rather than focusing on those powers' rise or how they ruled, however, Fettweis looks at how they sought to maintain their power. From these cases, one paramount lesson becomes clear: Dominant powers usually survive even the most incompetent leaders. Fettweis is most interested in how these superpowers defined their interests, the grand strategies these regimes followed to maintain superiority over their rivals, and how the practice of that strategy worked. 
     
     
     
    A sweeping history of grand strategy, The Pursuit of Dominance looks at the past 2,000 years to highlight what—if anything—current US strategists can learn from the experience of earlier superpowers.

    In April 1963, one of the most advanced U.S. hunter-killer nuclear submarines and the 129 men onboard vanished while on a routine voyage. The USS Thresher was one of the country’s most advanced ships, but it had the misfortune of becoming the first American nuclear submarine to be lost at sea, prompting obvious questions over what had happened. Had it accidentally collided with a Soviet ship? Was it destroyed by a new and secret Soviet weapon? Was it secretly captured and taken back to the Soviet Union to reveal its secrets? 
    For those who choose to make the careers as submariners, there is no more beloved service. That is, one hopes, how it was for the 99 men who were serving on the USS Scorpion on May 22, 1968, the fateful day the submarine is believed to have sank. It appears that the crew members died quickly, but however it happened, the grief experienced by their family members dragged on for decades, exacerbated both by the Navy’s lack of information about the submarine’s final moments and the government’s unwillingness to share what little knowledge it had. 
    It is easy in hindsight to criticize the military for its secrecy, but it must be remembered that the Scorpion disappeared at the height of the Cold War, and therefore, little could be said publicly about its fate. Coincidentally, 3 other nuclear submarines suffered mysterious sinkings the same year, and the Cold War adversaries were interested in locating them and gleaning any secrets or technology that they could from the other side’s bad luck. Indeed, it was only after the fall of the Soviet Union that the truth could be told, bringing closure to family members and a dark lesson in espionage to the American people.
